Musical Interlude: Listened to some early Bonnie Raitt today; I always enjoy her singing and reflect on how her father was a big Broadway star, and how generations sometimes go their own ways while keeping a core tradition alive....anyway, here's a nice track.

"Woman Be Wise," performed by Bonnie Raitt.

Katie Webster, The Swamp Boogie Queen, 1988 on Alligator Records

Webster started out as a session musician behind lots of Louisiana artists but then came back as a solo artist in the 1980s. This was her first album as a leader with distribution in the US on Alligator Records.

Guests include The Memphis Horns, Kim Wilson, Robert Cray, and Bonnie Raitt. Great album.

My copy is the 2025 Vinyl Me Please reissue cut by Ryan Smith at Sterling and pressed at GZ Media.

Nothing Seems to Matter

One of three songs written by Bonnie Raitt for her 2nd album Give It Up released in 1972. Here, she performs the song in 1977
