G'Raitt

Springsteen has his Jersey girls, But I don’t belong there. When Bon Jovi takes the stage, I would just feel wrong there. Randy Newman’s songs are great And I love Paul Simon. Billy Joel does justice to His lyrics’ perfect rhymin’. Carole King can nail a tune And I dig Tom Petty. If James Taylor is performing, Get me there – I’m ready. Yet there’s someone who can cause My blood to percolate When she belts a melody – I’m talkin’ Bonnie Raitt. Sorta country, kinda rock; Deep and rich and bluesy. Every note and word she sings Is sure to be a doozy. When I catch her on CD, The radio or stage, She still sounds as good to me As she did half her age. Keep on groovin’, Bonnie Raitt And let your music soar; ‘Cause when I hear your magic voice, I want to hear some more. For the "What Songwriter Inspires You? contest - Bonnie Raitt
