'm also under 30 but I can't even remember how I got into Bonnie, probably a recommendation from a fellow FM fan! The first album I ever bought was 'Give it Up' actually, and I've never looked back since.

Linda and Bonnie together is my idea of a dreamteam! I can never decide on favourite versions though, I always change my mind. I wish they'd done an album together like Linda and Emmylou's 'Western Wall'. I too am eagerly awaiting a new album and a tour (where she visits the UK ).
My goodness...someone else under 30 in the UK who likes Bonnie Raitt and Linda Ronstadt! I was feeling very alone..haha! Whereabouts in the UK are you?

The firsr release I actually bought was The Best of Bonnie Raitt[/I], that collection of her late 80s/90s stuff on Capitol that came out in 2003. I bought it because I'd heard and loved Thing Called Love. After that I got more and I now have Give It Up, Takin' My Time, Sweet Forgiveness, Nick of Time, Luck of the Draw, Longing in their Hearts and Road Tested. Along with that collection of her Warners material I mentioned. I've got loads of her other albums on spotify and listen to them a lot so I'm familiar with them. I just need to pick them up to fill in the gaps.

Have you heard the Carpenters version of Two Lives from Sweet Forgiveness? It's on Voice of the Heart (1983) and it's really good. I actually knew it before Bonnie's one.

What a strange post! I realise you didn't ask for my own Bonnie collection information!

p.s. I have the same birthday as Linda Ronstadt!
