Bonnie Raitt Sneaks Up On You
When it comes to queen of slide guitar Bonnie Raitt, we’ve got something to talk about. On her rootsy first albums—Bonnie Raitt, Give It Up, and Takin’ My Time—she set a bluesy vibe, but covers like Talking Heads’ “Burning Down the House” and Del Shannon’s “Runaway” showed she had more to say. By the late ’80s, she was a pop radio superstar.
So if you’re looking for Raitt’s best guitar tracks and records, we can get you started and give you a few deep cuts along the way.
