I forgot how good Bonnie's voice is when she goes down all sexy. Great song and great version.

I am in the mood for this song!
Bonnie Raitt will forever quicken my pulse.
gonna keep me up late
I'm diggin the interplay between JLH and BR, one of the things I like about the 'talkin blues' in general, though I (unfortunately) don't know as much about the form of the blues as I should. I'll call this an 8 and say Long Live RP and RIP to JLH (been 18 years + now....crazy how time flies)
Not the best of ole JLH. Never dug the Bonnie Raitt thing which gave us all those other white girl blues pretenders

Rest in Peace John Lee
You had more soul than any man I've ever heard.
