<<NP: "Wherever You May Be" from Bonnie's very excellent new album>>
Yes, indeed, Lori...an excellent new one from Bonnie, well worth the wait. She got me with the Little Feat-ish funky "Fool's Game" which kicks it off and it stays consistently good throughout. A couple of forgettable songs, but even they're made enjoyable by Bonnie's vocal, fine musicianship, and Mitchell Froom's well-balanced production. Like the best of her work, it presents a variety of slow slide-blues that I love, and some raucous rockers as well. If you like this one, check out Shannon McNally's "Jukebox Sparrows" which is even better! Also new and getting lots of eartime: Elvis Costello - When I Was Cruel Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot And coming up Tuesday, TWO from Waits! Damn, is it a good time to be alive or what! :~) Bob NP: Bonnie Raitt, "Wounded Heart" (a prettyy piano ballad, would suck in the hands of Celine, but it's a gem under Bonnie's wings)
