I didn't even know her story before I loved her voice and that slide guitar. Streetlights and Sweet Forgiveness are my favorite albums of hers (both before her "story" became a selling point), and I think Slipstream is great as well! I think her voice is wonderful.

Sure, she didn't write hardly any of her own songs, but then what about Linda Ronstadt? She didn't play an instrument either. I love Linda too, but Bonnie has the voice and is a very talented guitarist.
