Back in 1998, I purchased Bonnie Raitt's 1995 live album Road Tested. That album included a lot of Bonnie Raitt's best loved hits as well as a few really good covers. Bonnie sang a lovely cover of Michael McDonald's introspective song, "Matters of the Heart". Imagine my surprise when I found it on SingSnap. I decided to sing it today. I think it turned out pretty nice.
Here he is singing it...
I think it's a very poignant song that many people probably relate to... Michael McDonald has gotten around over the years. When I was writing a whole lot of CD reviews, I went through a phase in which it seemed like he had a hand in everything I was listening to. But hell, he is a talent. I love the challenge of a beautiful ballad.
