On this return to form, Raitt shines with some great songs, particularly "Good Enough," "Your Sweet and Shiny Eyes," and "Run Like a Thief."

Rick Clark - All Music Guide



Mit ihrem zehnten Album "Nick Of Time" (siehe Stereoplay 7/89) gewann die amerikanische Musikerin Bonnie Raitt eine Menge neuer Fans, denen ihr früheres Werk nicht bekannt ist. Der Großteil dieser LPs - sämtlich bei Warner Brothers erschienen - ist inzwischen auf CD neu herausgekommen. Das Debüt "Bonnie Raitt" (1953-2/TIS, AAD, 1971, 37:50; I:07, K:06, R:06) war ihren Vorlieben entsprechend noch ganz in einem erdigen Rhythm & Blues- und Blues-Rahmen gehalten, belegte aber bereits eindrucksvoll die Qualitäten der Kalifornierin als Sängerin, Gitarristin und Songschreiberin ("Thank You"). Mit "Give It Up" (2643-2/TIS, 1972, AAD 36:57, I:08, K:07, R:08) und "Takin My Time" (2729-2/TIS, 1973, AAD, 37:37; I:08, K:07, R:07) wurde auch ihr Gespür für hervorragende Songschreiber (Jackson Browne, Eric Kaz, Randy Newman) deutlich. Für das Repertoire von "Streetlights" (2818-2/TIS, 1974, AAD, 37:44; I:09, K:08, R:09) und "Home Plate" (1975, Bewertung siehe oben) übernahm Bonnie Raitt in zunehmendem Maße Rock- und Pop-Elemente und die auf dem grandiosen "Sweet Forgiveness" (2990-2/TIS, AAD, 38:13; I:09, K:08, R:09) enthaltene rockige Neufassung von Del Shannons 60er-Jahre-Hit "Runaway" bescherte ihr schließlich 1977 einen Verkaufserfolg. "The Glow" (3369-2/TIS, 1979, AAD, 37:42; I:09, K:08, R: 08) konnte diesen Coup trotz gleichbleibend hohem musikalischem Niveau allerdings nicht wiederholen. Zwei weitere Warner-Brothers-Alben, "Green Light" (1982) und "Nine Lives" (1986), wurden bisher noch nicht als CD aufgelegt.
