"I Ain't Gonna Let You Break My Heart Again" is a song by American blues musician Bonnie Raitt from her Nick of Time album.
[1] Lasley had persuaded a security guard to give Raitt a cassette with his song "I Ain't Gonna Let You Break My Heart Again", which she took home with her.
Raitt described "I’d never recorded with Herbie before, or done anything that exciting as far as being, “On your mark, get set, go” with one of the great geniuses of forever.
[6] Jeff Turrentine, for the Austin Daily Texan, wrote "even more genuinely soulful are Raitt's torchy, plaintive ballads of lost love...Raitt tells her sad tale as Herbie Hancock provides a lush blanket of chords, and one can almost imagine her reclining atop the Steinway in some smokey barroom.
"[9] Dick Hogan of the Cedar Rapids Gazette describes "Bonnie spins a tale of woe over Herbie Hancock's lone piano"[8]
