I went through a country phase back in the early '90s, and Mike Reid was one
of my favorites. (He's mainly a songwriter but released a couple of CDs of
his own stuff.) In my opinion, his version of "I Can't Make You Love Me" is
better than Bonnie's. I saw him play live once and met him briefly after the
show, and he really impressed me as an intelligent and thoughtful guy. I
think the only reason he was working in the country genre was because he was
primarily a songwriter, and most country artists tend to shop around for
songs rather than writing their own material.
This is probably wandering a bit off topic, but I just hadn't heard Mike
Reid mentioned in a long time. Not that I've been paying attention to
country for the last decade.
