"I'd Rather Go Blind" is a soulful blues song originally performed by Etta James. In this version by Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa, the lyrics express the pain and heartbreak of a woman who sees her lover with another woman. She knows the relationship is over but can't bear to see him walk away. The woman says she would rather be blind than watch him leave and be alone. The song is about the intense emotion of love and the fear of being alone. Beth Hart's powerful vocals combined with Joe Bonamassa's guitar playing create a raw and emotional performance of this classic blues song.
