Summary: Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and multiple Grammy-Award winner Bonnie Raitt is profiled in this two hour music and commentary special featuring an exclusive interview with Bonnie as well as comments from Jackson Browne, Taj Mahal, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Maia Sharp, Freebo, Bill Payne, Ann Powers and more. UPDATED 2016. Hosted by Paul Ingles.
I joined PRX specifically so that I could hear the end of this interview, which I had had to miss because I had to go to work. Bonnie Raitt just has that sort of pull on me. That throaty, sensual voice, that captivating guitar work: truly, there are few if any musicians, male or female, whom I would more prefer to listen to. She is a phenomenon, and I thank you for this vehicle where I could experience her at such length, in such depth.
Real people, real music - in a world of glitz, glam and stage shows, here's a life of sweat, passion and guts laid out in interviews and song. Superbly executed, fast moving and, most importantly, emotionally moving. Inspiring and hopeful. A great life, and a great job profiling it.
As a life-long Bonnie Raitt fan and devotee, and a producer myself, I want to commend Paul Ingles for once again bringing us a tour de force!
"The Emergence of Bonnie Raitt" pays tribute to a woman who deserves an in depth, well-researched, highly produced documentary about a principled life, a kick-ass guitarist/singer/songwriter and all 'round extraordinary human being. Paul does all that and more! KCSM broadcast the 2 hour version during our Spring Pledge Drive and the phones rang off the hook! Thank you Paul!
