I Can't Make You Love Me - Bonnie Raitt

This is a wonderful version of a great song by Bonnie Raitt. I am not sure about the overly sentimental ending...it would have been better without it if I am honest. I also would have enjoyed to hear a few more 'Hornsby-esque' references through out the piece, it would have been a nice touch, pointing the listener back to the original.

The hints of gospel however subtlety shine throughout this piece; they creep up on you wonderfully expected. The tension and release/rise and fall, is simply masterful. A superb performance.
