  Bonnie Raitt - Hot Music at A 2 Z Hot!   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Bonnie Raitt has done it again, proving she is not only a timeless classic, but a fresh look into blues and rock.
Raitt may sing about the dramas of love and relationships, but her voice and her words are without character- the album is a headache, not an escape.
A decade and a half before Bonnie captured the public imagination with her 1989 album, Nick of time, she was already building a solid reputation with her blend of blues, rock and folk music, of which this album is a fine example although the blues are the dominant influence here.

By 1971, Warner Brothers – who had pursued Raitt – had signed her to a recording contract and that same year her self-titled debut album was released which followed with six back-to-back albums.

Prior to Nick of Time, Bonnie Raitt had been a reliable cult artist, delivering a string of solid records that were moderate successes and usually musically satisfying.
In this context, Raitt flourishes; she never rocks too hard, but there is grit to her singing and playing, even when the surfaces are clean and inviting.
It was a great comeback album that made for a great story, but the record never would have been a blockbuster success if it wasn't for the music, which is among the finest Raitt ever made.

 THEMISATHENA.INFO: Bonnie Raitt
When the project was put together, Bonnie called on a number of friends, with whom she had shared the stage many times before and whose songs, having found a whole new interpretation in her performance, had become staples in her live repertoire long ago.
Short of experiencing Bonnie Raitt live on stage, "Road Tested" is the best evidence why rock and blues music, particularly when performed by an artist with such an unmatched passion for her work and skill as a guitar player as is Raitt, is a vastly different experience than listening to a studio album.
The album's opening title track is perhaps the best expression of that feeling, with its relaxed, slightly uptempo blues rhythm, its slide guitar solos, the "live-in-the-studio" sound of its vocals, and its background horn arrangements (by Bonnie Raitt herself), subtly framing her voice without ever getting in the way.

 Bonnie Raitt - New Album
Combining these forces in her first album ever to bear the credit "Produced by Bonnie Raitt," and augmented by the inspired contributions of co-producer/engineer Tchad Blake, she was truly able to push herself into new directions and new challenges on Souls Alike.
The album is the eighteenth release from this Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and nine-time Grammy winner, but it reveals the spirit and excitement of a newcomer.
The swirling, circular track sounds unlike anything Raitt has ever recorded, with lyrics that are, as she says, "as edgy and twisted as the music." Equally impressive is that the version included on the album is taken from the very first rehearsal run-through of the song.
