Product Description

Nick of Time is the watershed moment in Bonnie Raitt's recording career, the sound of a survivor finding new focus and purpose in her art after nearly 20 years of generally superb, commercially underachieving recordings. An exquisite interpretive singer and formidable guitarist who'd long ago honed her bluesy chops, Raitt raised the stakes by mixing the usual gourmet spread of smart cover choices with her own candid songs--and she knocked one over the fence with the opening track, the album's title song and a moving confession of a boomer's anxieties about age, death, and the impermanence of love. "Nick of Time" catapulted a feisty rock tomboy into a new station that made her as admired by female fans as the stage door johnnies who'd long loved her rock technique, and she covered the bet with other outside songs from John Hiatt ("Thing Called Love"), Bonnie Hayes ("Love Letter", "Have a Heart"), and Jerry L. Williams ("Real Man") that resonated with her persona as a tough, smart, but ultimately tender woman. --Sam Sutherland

another of my US road trip albums, "A thing called love" + "love letter" being 2 of my fave tracks. "have a heart" is a pretty song, with a catchy sound. "nobody's girl" is a sensitive spot in this album, "the roads my middle name" is absolutely smokin'!" with it's bb king blues sound. the title track is is sad but very human. overall, on the same par with "luck of the draw" - a great album.
Format:Audio CD
What's not to like about this cd? Perfect production and arranging. Great vocals and musical performances. And if I had to choose a song to dance around the den floor to it would be "Love Letter" without a doubt. Bonnie blends blues with funk and rock and roll effortlessly and this album surely deserved all the accolades it received. A must-have for your collection of great music.

The beginning of this recording is not promising, the title track sounds like the worst of soft rock, safe for any supermarket. Read more
