You might not believe it, and you might not really care too much, but before Bonnie Raitt gave us something to talk about in the late 80s, she was making some of the sweetest folk and blues records you've ever ignored. Her 1971 self-titled debut sounds like some friends made a big dinner in upstate California, decided that they would play some music after their bellies were full and, in the process, found out that one of their quiet friends, Bonnie, could sing. And play. They pressed record and forty effortless hippie-honeydew-California-blues minutes later, Bonnie Raitt was born.MP3: Bonnie Raitt - Bluebird (Buffalo Springfield cover)MP3: Bonnie Raitt- Any Day Woman
