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. Hosted by Paul Ingles. Read the full description.

Bonnie-raitt_small Blues/Rock/Pop star Bonnie Raitt is emerging from a 7 year studio layoff with a new record and tour. It's an opportune time to hear about her new music (Slipstream, released April 10) and revisit her remarkable career and personal story. So award-winning producer Paul Ingles has added Bonnie Raitt to his "Emergence" series on important musicians of the last 50 years - which so far has included Bob Dylan, Paul Simon and Joni Mitchell (all still available at PRX for summer play - consider running the whole series as a holiday special).

The Emergence of Bonnie Raitt: In the Slipstream includes exclusive interview material with Bonnie as well as the voices of many Bonnie's colleagues including Jackson Browne, Taj Mahal, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Bill Payne, Maia Sharp, Freebo plus NPR Music critic Ann Powers.

The program samples music from throughout her career from her earliest recordings to her most recent work.

FOR PROGRAM DIRECTORS:  Available in two-hour format, either at 59 minutes each hour or 54 minutes each hour for stations running newscasts.  Also a one hour version is being offered for stations that absolutely can't clear the two hours either back to back or on consecutive weeks.  It's recommended that you try to go the two-hour route.  It will offer the kind of immersion that will be much more satisfying to listeners.  You've seen American Master's programs on PBS.  They are two hours for a reason.  That's the case with this program as well.  Note that the files for both the 59 minute hour-long version and the 54 minute hour-long version are offered under the tab "1 Hour Version."

A Voice Without Compare

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.

Forever surprising

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.

BONNIE ROCKS!

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!
