BBC Four - BBC Four Sessions, Bonnie Raitt

Bonnie Raitt and her band perform songs including Love Has No Pride and Nick of Time.

At Stoke Newington Town Hall in London, Bonnie Raitt and her band perform signature songs like Love Has No Pride, Nick of Time and the bluesy Love Me Like a Man.

Filmed at Stoke Newington Town Hall in north London, this career-spanning concert features Bonnie Raitt and her road-tested band in sparkling form. 

Raitt started out supporting blues artists like Mississippi Fred McDowell, while championing the generation of singer-songwriters who emerged in the early 70s. She released her eponymously titled debut album in 1971 and her most recent album prior to this concert, Slipstream, came out in 2012. 

This set roams across her career and includes signature songs like Love Has No Pride, Nick of Time and the bluesy Love Me Like a Man. The slide guitar-slinging, flame-haired queen of roots and blues rock is joined by frequent collaborator and songwriter Paul Brady on Marriage Made in Hollywood and there's even a bluesy romp through the old Elvis tune, A Big Hunk o' Love.

Knowledge, arts, music and culture from the UK and the world.
