Bonnie Raitt / Lyle Lovett Tour
I caught the 2nd show of the Bonnie Raitt and Lyle Lovett tour last night and just wanted to say DONT MISS THIS SHOW!
Lyle and his Large Band sounded great in spite of the fact he is still on crutches. Bonnie was better than ever, her current band Smokes! Highlights for me included the hypnotic cover of David Grays' "Silver Lining", and a song I hoped she would do last night, John Prines' "Angel From Montgomery". Not going to bore you with details, but this might be Bonnie Raitt at her peak, and she has always been great. And when she sings with Lyle its icing.
