Bonnie Raitt – Slipstream (2012)
Bonnie Lynn Raitt (born November 8, 1949) is an American blues singer-songwriter and a renowned slide guitar player. During the 1970s, Raitt released a series of acclaimed roots influenced albums which incorporated elements of blues, rock, folk and country, but she is perhaps best known for her more commercially accessible recordings in the 1990s including "Nick of Time", "Something to Talk About", "Love Sneakin' Up on You", and the slow ballad "I Can't Make You Love Me". Raitt has received nine Grammy Awards in her career and is a lifelong political activist.
Slipstream is Bonnie Raitt’s first release in seven years and one of the best of her 40-year career. That career has had major triumphs (Luck Of The Draw has sold nearly 8 million copies) and major troughs. Warner Brothers, with a patience and loyalty unknown in today’s music world, released six Raitt albums before she finally scored a hit single. Her big breakthrough, however, came in 1989, 18 years into her recording career, when she teamed up with Don Was to make Nick Of Time, winning three Grammys and soaring to number one.
The first release on her own label, Redwing Records, Slipstream is like two albums in one: four songs produced by country blues/Americana artist Joe Henry, who has guided highly acclaimed sets by Allen Toussaint and Solomon Burke; and eight songs produced by Raitt herself.
Bonnie Raitt appears on Rolling Stone’s list of the 100 Greatest Singers Of All Time. Slipstream demonstrates why she belongs there.
