Tedster Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Well, you might not think so, but I do. I think it's one of the best programs on TV. The last couple of nights they've been airing Bonnie Raitt with Lyle Lovett. To me, it doesn't get much better than that. Of course, I'm still madly in love with Bonnie, so that helps...

picker Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I just got an image of Lyle in drag singing "Love Me Like a Man". It wasn't a pretty picture... Always remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihategarybettman Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 It sounds like an inspired pairing of talents; I bet it's a great episode. I also like "Crossroads." Not every episode is great (Kid Rock and Hank Williams, Jr.?), but when it's on, it's on. By the way, even though I wouldn't call myself a country fan, I watch CMT much more than MTV or VH1 combined. At least CMT shows primarily music-related programs, not that reality crap. I mean, what exactly does "The Real World" have to do with Music Television or "Being Brady" with Video Hits?

Hound Dog Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I saw it. Bonnie is just so laid back and cool. Her slide playing appears to be second nature. Yum, Yum! Eat em up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pappy P Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Yes that is a good show. I've seen many good combos on that show. Do you think they will ever Pair someone like Ozzy or Dave Lee Roth with Brad Praisley or some other CW six stringer? Would you be interested in watching that, I sure would. www.birdblues.com My Stuff On Sound Click Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a hunk @ 54 and my new teeth make me look schweeeet! Sorry, strangedogs, Bonnie was interviewed on CBS' Sunday Morning show and she made it clear she's very happy being single, for now at least. But judging by her ex I'd say you're just the right age. It's easiest to find me on Facebook. Neil Bergman Soundclick fntstcsnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedster Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 If she ever wants to go out with a slightly, just slightly younger guy, I would happily volunteer my services. I told Deb "You go ahead, you can have Keith Urban" (her fantasy hunk)..."gimme Bonnie Raitt". Pappy...that would be cool...but I'd like to see a rocker guitar slinger who could sing paired with Paisley. Geez...but who? I mean, all the guys who come to mind are either singers or guitar players...like Satriani, Vai, etc. What is it with rockers...always gotta have a front man singing. (shakes head sadly)...

Pappy P Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 It's hard to sing and play at the same time. Even B B King stops playing when he is singing. Same with Bonnie. Hey: Has anyone ever heard Carlos Santana sing? Carlos Santana and Leann Rimes. That might be a good match. www.birdblues.com My Stuff On Sound Click Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Ellwood Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 "What is it with rockers...always gotta have a front man singing. (shakes head sadly)" Yeah, I know! I don't know why that is, we who do covers always have to do our own vocals and play our instruments too! http://www.thestringnetwork.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedster Posted February 16, 2006 Author Share Posted February 16, 2006 It just dawned on me...since SRV, I can't really think of any really prominent rock singers who are also top flight players. Joe Bonamossa comes to mind, but, he's not really world renowned yet. In the world of rock, most of the "players' players" are there to support a lead vocalist. Actually, it's probably that way in country as well, guys like Brad Paisley and Steve Wariner being notable exceptions.
