Post your questions for Bonnie Raitt
As she heads out on a European tour, the 75-year-old US musician will answer your questions about her platinum-selling songcraft
She taught herself guitar in her teens by listening to Joan Baez and Bob Dylan – and her talent would later prompt BB King to call her the “best damn slide player working today” and Bon Iver to say she’s “our greatest living singer”. She has released 21 studio albums and won 13 Grammys, and has been a versatile collaborator with everyone from Alison Krauss to Alicia Keys, Richard Thompson and Toots and the Maytals. She co-founded Musicians United for Safe Energy in 1979, contributed to Steve Van Zandt’s anti-apartheid song Sun City in 1985 and was part of a Soviet-American Peace Concert held in Moscow in 1987.
