Bonnie Raitt - Decades Rock Live [DVD + CD]

Bonnie Raitt And Friends - Decades Rock Live is a DVD and CD set recorded in September 2005 and features the soulful vocals and slide guitar work of crossover blues/rock queen Bonnie Raitt.

The set list leans heavily on the cuts from Raitt's most recent album release Souls Alike, with almost half of the tracks culled from that CD. The guest list of Keb' Mo', Alison Krauss, Ben Harper, Norah Jones, and Jon Cleary tells its own tale of how revered Bonnie Raitt is amongst her peers, and the interviews with the cast on the DVD extras reinforce that view.

The recording and production is slick, and the DVD features additional tracks to those on the CD. The performances on Bonnie Raitt And Friends - Decades Rock Live are beyond criticism, and the warmth of the atmosphere comes across particularly well. Vintage blues playing from one of rock's established and evergreen stars.
