... (Radio.com)
Bonnie Raitt had nine Grammys before this week's ceremony, and just won her tenth - and first since 1996 - taking the Best Americana Album, in a very strong category. She won against her all-male and all-contemporary competition of Mumford & Sons, the Lumineers and the Avett Brothers). She saluted her fellow nominees in the category. "I have enough, thank you though!" she exclaimed. "This is the same face I was wearing that other time." A consummate musician, she also said, "Give it up for the band!" referring to the house band who performs through the four hour ceremony (which streams on the official GRAMMY website). "Thank yo u so much to all the musicians, songwriters and [producer] Joe Henry. My parents for giving me the gene pool that allows me to be up here," referencing her father, Broadway star John Raitt, and her mother, a pianist Marjorie Haydock. more on this story Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.

Bonnie Raitt
(November 8, 1949)
Artistfacts®: You can leave comments about the artist/band at the bottom of the page.
Bonnie has long been involved with the environmental movement, doing concerts to support Forest, Oil, Mining and water protection since the mid-'70s. Her tour bus runs on biofuel.
As one of the founding members of the Rhythm and Blues Foundation, she continues to work for increased recognition, health benefits and royalty reform for the pioneer generation of R&B artists to whom we owe so much.
Her father is the celebrated Broadway singer John Raitt (Carousel, Oklahoma!, The Pajama Game) and her mother is the accomplished pianist/singer Marge Goddard.
Early in her career, she opened for various Blues legends. From Mississippi Fred McDowell, Sippie Wallace, Son House, Muddy Waters, and John Lee Hooker she learned first-hand lessons of life as well as invaluable techniques of performance.
She won four Grammy Awards in 1990, three for her Nick of Time album and one for her duet with John Lee Hooker on his breakthrough album The Healer. The double platinum Longing in Their Hearts, released in 1994, featured the hit single "Love Sneakin' Up On You" and was honored with a Grammy for Best Pop Album.
On March 6, 2000, Bonnie was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. (thanks, Amy - Chicago, IL, for all above)
Raitt has a great deal of festival appeal - she's played the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, the Indy Jazz Fest and the Bonnaroo festival. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)
She was married to the actor Michael O'Keefe from 1991-1999.
Comments:
Pam Tillis
The country sweetheart opines about the demands of touring and talks about writing songs with her famous father.
Joe Ely
The renown Texas songwriter has been at it for 40 years, with tales to tell about The Flatlanders and The Clash - that's Joe's Tex-Mex on "Should I Stay or Should I Go?"
Michael Bolton
Into the vaults for this talk with Bolton from the '80s when he was a focused on writing songs for other artists.
Someday everybody's going to realize what a great talent she is. I predict her works will be around for awhile.
