Bonnie Raitt Instagram – Episode 2: She’s Like Cézanne
We travel to Los Angeles for the first half of Episode 2, where @sheroesradio host @carmelholt talks to legendary producer, bassist, and @bluenoterecords president, @donwas about his first gig ever at age 12 opening for Joni Mitchell. Don also shares how he learned an important life lesson from listening to Blue, and discusses the sophistication of Joni’s harmonic and poetic compositions, and how this naturally intersected with some of the greats of jazz, including their mutual friend, the late Wayne Shorter.
Next, in a heartfelt conversation, Carmel tells @bonnieraittofficial that her own road to Joni began with cassettes of Blue and Bonnie’s 1974 album Streetlights, and we learn that her version of “That Song About The Midway” also holds a very special meaning for Bonnie, including performing the song in Joni’s living room at one of the Joni Jams. Bonnie shares how inspirational and important Joni has been for her, and the ways she has impacted her work.
EP2 is streaming now where ever you listen to your fave podcasts (distributed by @talkhouse ) and on our 23 affiliate public radio stations beginning tomorrow, Saturday, September 14. Links in bio!
