Ten time Grammy winner and hugely respected musician, singer-songwriter and blues star Bonnie Raitt talks through her 45 year career, including her work with everyone from John Lee Hooker and Ray Charles to Paul Brady, John Prine and Bruce Hornsby.

She takes us through her early days as a civil rights protester, daughter of a Broadway singer and Quaker, being a student at Harvard and meeting John Lee Hooker and other blues giants at the age of 19 to her success with Luck Of The Draw, Nick Of Time, I Can't Make You Love Me and Thing Called Love, among many others.

Bonnie also brings us up to date with 2012's Slipstream and her twentieth album Dig In Deep.
