Free Music Review: Everything just came together....
Hit: 5 Stars
Looking back over the years at all the best records(cd's) ofBonnie Raitt's long and enduring career as a singer/guitarist/writer/activist "LUCK OF THE DRAW" is a stand
out. Everything had just come together for Raitt, the Grammy's
showered on her not only fortune and fame but long sought after
credibility(with the public) and her new label Capitol spent the money to make
the money! The time was taken to make sure all those honors
weren't just a fluke but actually a Raitt reawakening to the
talents that lied within. Being sober and committed and using
some of the best talents in the business Bonnie was able to
help co-produce along with Don Was a very respectable follow-
up to "Nick of time". Every song here just oozes with feeling
and Bonnie is in an unstoppable groove and having now sold over
7 millions copies it is understandable just why it went on to
be so popular. "Something to talk about" and "I can't make you
love me", both were the sought after songs Bonnie has been trying to lay down for to many years ago to mention. The timing
was right as well for Bonnie's non-pretentious sound and voice
to hit in America. Adult Comtemporary and Adult Alternative radio station's impact and of course VH1 VIDEO SUPPORT,put her right into America's heartland where so many woman identified with all
her heartbreaking, blues sorrow and...rock blues style and many guys just couldn't believe a women could be such an aggressive slide guitar stylist. It all worked to perfection. The rock blues of "Slow Ride", The country rock blues bounce of "Good Man", the reality
of "All at once", the FUNK of "Tangled and Dark" spelled out a
rare musical talent that had just been tapped. Bonnie has gone
on to make more excellent music and although this is still
abit more slick than what she is really about these days it
as a whole had all the support going for it. Capitol has for the
most part abbandoned Bonnie's most recent quests and it sadly
shows on sales but Bonnie continues on with nothing to prove
but the skills and meat and potatoes or her rock/blues legacy
trailing along with her. "LUCK OF THE DRAW" will live on(along side "Nick of Time") as
her career highlights.
