Thanks Joachim - cool version - I never saw the movie so I didnt even know she covered this song. Until today I had only hear Rusty Wier's original and Jerry Jeff's cover.

You're welcome Chuck. I knew the song from a Jerry Jeff Walker "live" double- album. So this was what I remembered when I saw the title and I was pleasantly surprised that Bonnie Raitt did it too. I think that's the only time she had a pedal steel on her recordings?

Thanks Jim. I always thought it was Sneaky Pete. $:\$ Anyway, I used to have the sound track from the movie. Lots of great music on there. Played it to death and I've lost it or worn it out I guess. Can't find it anyway.
Thanks for posting it Joachim.

She had another cut "Darlin'" also with steel. It's on youtube somewhere I think.

Jay was also on Bonnie's other contribution to that soundtrack- "Darlin'".

You're welcome Jerry. Here's Frankie Miller, the man who wrote Darlin':

Still in LA- he is the guy usually that you see on the American Idol stage playing banjo, pedal and lap steel, mandolin, etc.

I think who ever posted the song on you tube got it all wrong. That is not Bonnie Raitt. She's a truly versatile singer but somehow it's not her kind of material.I could stand corrected , but.... the only gal i know of who covered that song was the wonderfully talented late great Canadian Colleen Peterson. And I can't lay my hands right now on the recording I have by her for comparison.I'm sure other ladies have recorded the song it's a classic

Geoff , are you the kind guy i Meetted in St Louis 2007 ?

Nice. But definitely Bonnie Raitt, not Colleen Peterson.

Colleen's version was great too - it was on an album she recorded in Nashville called "Beginning to Feel Like Home", with Lloyd Green on steel. (curiously, the McDill tune "Beginning to Feel Like Home" was not on that album, but was on her next album which she recorded in L.A. - go figure)
