What version is this?! All I know about that track is that it was written for Bonnie by Bryan Adams and I have it on
The Bonnie Raitt Collection (the
excellent collection of her 70s/early/mid 80s Warners material). I don't have the
Nine Lives album that the song is from, it's meant to be pretty bad. I do like the song though, it's very different for her but very fun!
Have I been listening to the song on this collection all this time and not noticed Chris on backing vocals? I must know!! Haha.
I actually got into Bonnie after hearing her hit version of Thing Called Love. Like so many others under 30 I suppose. That song also got me onto John Hiatt. I like her stuff from
Nick of Time onwards too.
Luck of the Draw and
Longing In Their Hearts are both great, although now we're into the 90s...
Overall I prefer her 70s output too though. Bonnie and Linda Ronstadt tended to swap songs a lot, which I love! Have to say I prefer Linda's version of Louise whereas Bonnie of course does the better version of Love Has No Pride.
Surely it's time she gave us a new album? Her last one was 2005 and she's normally more regular than that with her releases. Oh well.
