  Streetlights by Bonnie Raitt CD
STREETLIGHTS represents Bonnie Raitt's attempt to transition from the rootsy, blues-based aesthetic of her first three albums toward a more accessible crossover sound.
Though she didn't write any of the material on STREETLIGHTS, Raitt's treatment of songs by the likes of Joni Mitchell ("That Song about the Midway") and James Taylor ("Rainy Day Man") are performed with an authority and nuance that let the singer claim them as her own.
Early fans may have criticized the change signaled by STREETLIGHTS, but it is an undeniably strong release that highlights Raitt's skills as an interpreter and performer.

 CD Baby: MATT YORK: Under the Streetlights   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The project stretched far beyond making a great record, but it was an opportunity for Matt to bring together all of the amazing musicians and friends he's been jamming with since he was 17.
"Having all of these guys play on the album was really special for me. These were the artists that I used to sit in with in the studio and hope that one day I was able to sing and play as well as they could.
The fact that they all we're excited to work on the album and really dig the material validates for me that I've gotten there." Matt will be on tour across the US and Canada for the remainder of 2005 and into 2006 kicking his unique style of acoustic funk.

 TANGMONKEY.COM [ REVIEW: Boy: Boy ]
Throughout the album, Kozmeniuk also demonstrates considerable skill as a producer, mixing LP scratches with hearty piano-chords and garage-dirty guitar squeals.
Though the album suffers from a frustrating consistency of intensity - many of the songs have a similar time-signature and density of tracks - it's a minor quibble when, individually, the tracks are so fine.
On this album, the sheer force of Boy's talent skyrockets the band out of the mass of unknown artists, showcasing the way Pro Tools and a PC can compete with the best NYC studios.

 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.
In between albums and family matters, Bonnie kept up her customary busy schedule, doing l00 dates in the U.S. following the release of Silver Lining; spending the next two summers touring Europe and swinging through Australia and New Zealand to support the Best Of Bonnie Raitt on Capitol album, released in the fall of 2003.

 CD Baby: YUKKA: Still
Although the albums is quite long, the tracks are well balanced and that is the reason why things do not get boring.
Yukka is band that you need to hear a couple of times to really appreciate the richness of the songs.
Everytime you listen to the album again you will discover new things in the songs that you previously didn't hear before.

 Amazon.com: Streetlights: Music: Bonnie Raitt   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Following her first three albums, all of which were wildly eclectic affairs, Bonnie Raitt was poised for a mainstream move, and 1974's Streetlights is it.
In the 70's, the album "Streetlights" was my introduction to Bonnie Raitt.
I was actually looking for another album, but the music really caught my ear, so I asked the clerk who the singer was.

 DECAPOLIS : Despistado - The People and Their Verses
Despistado slows the tempo down a bit for the catchiest song on the album, “Magnetic Streetlights,” which features dual vocals, a memorable chorus and a great bass line.
The song is a nice change of pace to the upbeat songs that dominate the album.
The People and Their Verses is certainly not a perfect album, but it is obvious that the band was on their way to fulfilling their obvious potential to release a truly great album.

 Rykodisc Catalog - Nashville - Josh Rouse   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Following up his great ode to the Seventies album 1972, Nahsville is Josh’s opus to his home for the last ten years before his recent move to Spain.
This is his love letter to the city that made him whole and to the parts of the city that go unrecognized by the general public.
From the pedal steel in “It’s The Nighttime” to the haunting strings in “Streetlights” to the fragile piano intro of “Sad Eyes,” Josh has pulled out all the stops on this album.

 DOA - The London Apartments - Romanticism Aside
The album opens up with "Oh What a Day in Autumn," an instrumental track that just gives a few hints of what is thorugh out the album, a buffet of drum loops, glitches, and dreamy synth sounds.
This was the only low point in the album as Justin seems to recover very significantly with "Put a Jacket On," a song that could stand up against any Postal Service song on college and alt-radio.
The gem of the album is "Streetlights are Soldiers," another perfectly crafted pop song that seems to describe a lost introverted soul.

 Bonnie Raitt - Discography
It's not often that an artist makes the album of her lifetime almost two decades into a legendary career.
The result was Nick of Time, an album that gave voice to a rarely-heard adult female sensibility, and perfectly married Raitt's blues roots to a sound encompassing rock, pop, and RandB that managed to be both sophisticated and funky.
Within weeks after the awards, the album shot to Number One on the Billboard charts, and went on to sell more than five million copies, establishing Bonnie Raitt as the superstar her fans always knew she deserved to be.

 Winterpills
To make a short story long, there was a big bay window by the bare wood floor, and the heavy snow fell hypnotically past the yellow streetlights on a treeless street called Orchard.
With their Signature Sounds/Soft Alarm debut, Winterpills deliver an album that marks the arrival of a quietly stunning new band.
Showcasing intimate male female vocals, haunting electric guitar, and bold inventive drumming, the album captures the sound of a band that has discovered a rare alignment of musicianship.

 Album Rock - Streetlights Bonnie Raitt / CD / 1974
Bonnie Raitt had delivered three stellar albums, but chart success wasn't forthcoming, even if good reviews and a cult following were.
So, she teamed with producer Jerry Ragovoy for Streetlights and attempted to make the crossover record that Warner so desperately wished she'd release.
Over the years, the concessions that she made here -- particularly the middle-of-the road arrangements (as opposed to the appealingly laid-back sounds of her previous records), the occasional use of strings, but also some of the song selections -- have consigned Streetlights to noble failure status.

 Jade Tree | Press
With Fugazi on a long hiatus, and all the other aforementioned bands broken up, Despistado is a band that showed a lot of promise to carry quality post-punk through the 2000’s.
Sadly, the young foursome from Saskatchewan, Canada, decided to call it quits prior to releasing The People and Their Verses, their debut album.
The drawbacks to The People and Their Verses are forgivable for a young band: As with a lot of the records in this genre, some of the songs tend to be virtually indistinguishable from others, and the standout songs on the album are obvious.

 Cokemachineglow.com : Rocky Votolato: Makers
On Makers, his third album and first for Barsuk Records, Rocky Votolato strikes the delicate balance right on the head with an album of whisky-soaked Americana.
It’s an intriguing exercise made more so by the safe instrumentation of the rest of the album, like a hidden darkness only briefly willing to reveal itself.
Though the lack of extremes fails to make this a polarizing album, it’s by no means bland (like my porridge metaphor).

The sad thing about this album is that it went virtually un-noticed when it was released in 2002.
Now that the band is touring with former Weezer bassist Matt Sharp, hopefully they will gain some more exposure.

 Home Plate - Bonnie Raitt - Song Listings
Homeplate takes Bonnie Raitt even further down the path toward mainstream production than the unjustly maligned Streetlights, but, ironically, it works better than its predecessor.
Perhaps that's because producer Paul A. Rothchild has helped Raitt craft a record that's unapologetically pitched at the mainstream, where Streetlights often seemed to be torn between two worlds.
The great thing about that is, regardless of the production, the essentials of Raitt's music have not changed.

 Glide Magazine Reviews - Ryan Adams and The Cardinals
And on occasion, he would sing about his southern hometown of Jacksonville, North Carolina, the city—as he described it--with “hopeless streetlights.” It was a dead-end of place for Adams, mostly forgotten in his lyrics after his album Gold hit the record stores.
Jacksonville City Nights, Adams’ second album released this year (a third album, 29, will emerge in the winter), not only takes the singer-songwriter back to writing about his hometown (“Oh Jacksonville, how you burn in my soul”), but it also brings out the pedal steel and country influences of his sweet Carolina upbringing.
From the playful “Trains” to the somber “September,” this is an album that will keep your attention despite many of its flaws.

One of my favorite stories has got to be your re-doing all the bass-lines for the first Talking Heads album, not only uncredited...
I also want to thank-you for stating that The Funkadelics (original) were teriffic players, while speaking in regard to your having played on several cuts from their first album.
Anyhow, folks have been quite disrespectful from time to time here and other places when the album credits indicate one thing and the actual player was somebody else altogether.
