Review of the Bonnie Raitt CD Fundamental

Super talented Rock artist Bonnie Raitt has released her latest CD on the Capitol / EMI Records recording label, entitled Fundamental.

Bonnie Raitt has been a super star in the Rock genre for quite some time now and Fundamental is an excellent illustration as to why.

Bonnie Raitt possesses the characteristic of being able to win you over with her talent alone. The kind of artist I really enjoy listening to.

Listen to this CD and I believe you’ll find there's not much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired, the production is simply outstanding, and Bonnie Raitt is clearly in top form. So much so that if you're even mildly into Rock music you'll enjoy this album.

While the entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 2 - Cure For Love, track 6 - Blue For No Reason, and track 11 - One Belief Away

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - The Fundamental Things. Wow!

Anyone like Bonnie Raitt? What's your favorite song of hers?

Mine would have to be Angel from Montgomery but the whloe Streetlights album is absolutely fab. And I like Something to Talk About but that is actually a John Hiatt song.
Thanks guys I didn't know it was John Prine, no wonder it's so good!

Yeah, I love Bonnie Raitt, too. Favorite song.... will have to ponder this a bit... Angel from Montgomery is so great ~ Runaway, Women be wise ~ so many great songs!

I've seen her twice at Red Rocks, once with Freebo and her old back-up band and once with what looked like a pick-up band. The pick-up band got totally off the beat on one of her songs that kind of has a syncopated beat - and this was so cool - she had to turn her back on the audience and get them back on the beat.

A consummate professional and a KILLER slide guitar player. Sexy, too. Love that white streak in her red hair
