Song of the Day-My First Night Alone Without You

Wow! This is really a great song which I hadn't heard in years. Bonnie Raitt recorded it on her "Home Plate" album which was one of her Warner Brothers releases. Recorded in 1975 but not a big seller. Only an album track on one of Bonnie's albums before she struck gold at Capital Records. The song was written by Kin Vassy who was a member of the folk group "The Back Porch Majority" and also a member of "Kenny Rogers and the First Edition."

If you have ever been in love and gone through a painful breakup, in other words, if you're human, this song will speak to you. And Bonnie's intense performance is perfect. On the original vinyl, which I still own, it closed out side one. It's buried in the middle of the cd, but I think her performance is a stunner. She did a lot of fine music in the Warner years. With Bonnie due to release her first album in 7 years, it's good to look back at some of the fine work she has done in the past!

Great tune!
