@Roy G. Biv Wow! Bonnie Raitt's 'Road Tested'. I haven't listened to that album for years.
I'll put that right tonight.
What a fabulous artist Bonnie is. A truly great musician.
I have loads of her albums and have also been fortunate to see her live.
I have probably listened to 'Luck of the Draw' more than any other, but she has produced so many excellent albums.
I also saw Paul Brady live a few years ago. That was a fantastic gig! Bonnie covered two of Paul's songs on 'Luck of the Draw'.

@Les Strat It is a great album. I've had the concert DVD for years. Lots of guests in her show - Bryan Adams, Kim Wilson, Jackson Brown, Bruce Hornsby, Ruth Brown and Charles Brown. I've seen her live 3-4 times, twice with Keb' Mo' as the opener. Definitely memorable! I posted the Charles Brown because he plays on Road Tested and I usually end up listening to him next.

I’m just wondering if anyone here saw her earlier than the “Home Plate” tour of hers I saw in 1975?

Not me...sadly!
I bought 'Home Plate' when it was released, but didn't see her live until about '91.
I've seen her twice and both gigs were fantastic.
I really like the way she has helped raise awareness for some of the old Blues musicians who inspired her, but made little money from the business.

Not me. First time I saw her was late 80's. Concert was at Red Rocks with Bruce Hornsby as the opening act.

B.B. King - Blues On The Bayou.jpg
Recorded live in studio, no overdubs. Authentic blues from the heart in 1998
and subsequent Grammy winner in 2000. BB's 36th studio album.

Christone Ingram - Kingfish.jpg
Debut album by a great young talent Christone Ingram, aka Kingfish, from Clarksdale, MS.
Recorded at Ocean Way Studio in Nashville & released on Alligator Records in 2019.

King King - Standing In The Shadow.jpg
The second studio album from the engaging British blues band, released 2013.
I also recommend their live album, a ton of fun. Yes, they wear kilts on stage.
Thanks to my blues mentor @whirlwind for your excellent guidance.
