I hear him closin in
That green-eyed jackal's got the scent
Knows I'll let him in
He slinks in by me at the fire
More bitter than the cold
And it's a rage as old as Hades
That'll sputter on these coals
I'm callin on the Furies, to let the toast begin
I'm roasting on the spit of love again
I never have believed you
But I stick around for more
Somethin bout that hollow in your eyes
There's a darkness at the core
Well, it's got me slowly turnin
I'm basting on the bone
I'm skewered like some drunken fool
In juices all my own
Callin the Furies' carrion choir
Singin me back upon the pyre
I'm roasting on that spit of love again
You can call it what you want
But it's lyin just the same
There's no mercy in these ashes, baby
When your love's a cryin shame
And they're howlin in moonlight, baby
They're here to call my bluff
They're wonderin if there'll ever come a day
When I'll have finally had enough
I'm callin on the Furies, to let the toast begin
I'm roasting on that spit of love again
Roasting on the spit of love??
Man, who came up with those lyrics?

Fnarr fnarr!
she is smokin' hot!
I don't get too much into blues rock as it's just the same old boring blues progression all the time, but man, this song really jams. Nice guitar layers coming in and out like dark storm clouds.
Miss Bonnie pays blues, but they're thoroughly modern, and this song doesn't follow the traditional blues chord progression. I will ALWAYS volunteer to be roasted on a spit of love for her!
First time I saw Bonnie was in the mid 70's at the beautiful Fox Theater in Atlanta, she opened for Little Feat. Her back-up band? Little Feat. It was quite an evening...
Oh, my that would have been an incredible evening. :D
great music. never heard about her before. thank you for this awesome discovery
Whoa! That makes me feel old. A quick check of Wikipedia will give you a rundown of her many accomplishments including a Grammy for Album of the Year as well as her induction into the Rock and Roll HOF.

COOL! She has been around for a long time, check out her other stuff. She has a lot of great tunes!
Bonnie is one of those artists I've never really followed, but every time I hear her I think "She's damn good".
Bonnies one of those artists I've really followed. And yes, she's that good!!
I don't normally care for Bonnie Riatt, but this is undeniably excellent. Powerful, moving, and connected directly to that part of you where soul meets body.

Yeah, those licks are hers too - not a sideman person. There's not a lot of singers who play lead - but several are women.

It's 2020 and this go round the segue is from Bonnie Raitt "Spit of Love" to Jeff Beck's "Freeway Jam". Just noticing.
No offense but you can't really rock-out to Bonnie. Turning it up to "5" is about as loud as it needs to be.
Okay Boomer.

I'll bob you on my spit of love duck, who's with me for a spit roast?
L-O-V-E ME SOME Bonnie Raitt. I really think I'm a 50-yr old trapped in a 31-yr old's body with my musical tastes....
Haha, i came here to "raitt" this a 9 and then i read your comment. I'm 30 myself.... We're probably suffering from the same dicease...

I know, but I amuse myself.
"25th Anniversary The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Concert at Madison Square Garden - 2009/10/29 & 30"
"Art is Resistance"
This woman has had a strong voice for years, and she always has a tight funk band behind her. Love that sloppy slide guitar.
this is the original "I Can't Make You Love Me" here with Bruce Randall Hornsby on piano.
"this song always brings tears in my eyes...
knowing you're in love w/ someone you cant have because it's just very wrong...and having just one chance to hold him is enough to treasure it for a lifetime...all i have are chances or maybe just a chance."
Seeing her now is much different. Of course the crowd is a lot grayer and a little more sober also.

I'm basting on the bone
I'm skewered like some drunken fool
In juices all my own
Bonnie Raitt cant get enough basting on the bone
Bonnie has honed her grit and authenticity to a fine point.
She knows pain.
