BENSON
“Louise”
DESCRIPTION:
“Louise,” written and first recorded by Paul Siebel, may be best known for Bonnie Raitt’s version from 1977. When ‘Louise’ dies there’s grief but also a visceral awakening to a sense of collective guilt and responsibility for her death. This soul-stirring track hints at a certain kind of moral bankruptcy and a failure of timely compassion by those around her. The warm sympathetic vocals in this grassed up rendition make for a captivating ballad.
