3 pieces: 1 by a veteran extending the franchise, a mid-career guitar maven in an all-instrumental outing (all-star invitees and he makes'm sweat) and a relative newcomer who just keeps getting better in every way (inc. writing/producing, attracting the best players, his voicing--all that).
Bonnie Raitt--absent for 7 years and hasn't lost a step. Makes every song her own--the great ones do that. Witness:

Sonny Landreth--Not dazzled by guitar wizardry (he's got that in spades)? Wanna go somewhat subtle? That's sure enough here too. It's the perfs he gets from the other guys...Verify: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byhsiNAj ... HmkEb61t5k

John Nemeth--pride of Boise, ID. and is rapidly developing into this century's Delbert McClinton (singing, writing, killer associates, good harp too) Check this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNiaLt9O9Xw

Kicker>> Adele doing Bonnie Raitt http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLfWPLLn-QI << chosen principally because she pronounces "patronize" contextually correctly. Also, brings a superior modern vocal approach to a classic.
