November 8: Bonnie Raitt sings Bob Dylan – happy birthday Bonnie Raitt!

Raitt is a very good Dylan interpreter! She has recorded some of his songs and do some in concerts.

Bonnie Raitt returned to the studio in 2012 with producer Joe Henry, a singer-songwriter known for his earthy stamp on albums by veterans such as Solomon Burke and Bettye LaVette. Four songs from those sessions, elegiac ballads that include two Bob Dylan covers, landed on Raitt’s album, Slipstream.

Enjoy!

Bonnie Raitt sings Million Miles, from her album Slipstream, here in a fine live version:
