5 out of 5 stars Bonnie Raitt - The Glow.......2006-08-25

I am writing this review of Bonnie Raitt's The Glow. This album is one of the best cd's of Bonnie Raitt's that I own. In the late 1980's, when this album first came out I didn't hear any of it. Just recently I purchased it and put it on my stereo I was totally blown away!!! This is one of the best rock and roll/ Blues cd's!! The song I, Thank You took me by surprise. It reminded me of some of the songs on Sweet Forgiveness. Bonnie's voice is so mellow and bluesy all in one. Thankyou, Bonnie for recording such a wonderful cd full of Rock,Rhythm and
Blues!! Jane Elizabeth Hames

5 out of 5 stars Bonnie At Her Best!!!.......2005-10-07

Needless to say Bonnie Raitt has many wonderful moments.Up until now I knew of primarly for her hit albums 'Nick Of Time' and 'Luck Of The Draw' but 'The Glow' from 1979 is certainly in nearly the same vein.One reason is the fabulous title song,a stripped back jazzy ballad delivered with terrtic finese from Ms.Raitt,showing for all certainty what a great vocal stylist she can be.
Typical of the 70's era Bonnie Raitt this album is primarily devoted to covers,in this case mostly coming from the pens of Isaac Hayes,David Porter and Jackson Browne.The 'hit' is also the spikiest rocker on the album-a cover of Robert Palmer's "You're Gonna Get What's Coming".Bonnie Rait contributes the excellent "Standin' By The Same Old Love" which is such a strong slice of blues that I wonder why Peter Asher wasn't letting her write more during this period of her career.
At any rate it is albums like this that has influenced a whole generation of caucation female blues performers,even if Bonnie Raitt began at this point offering a deversified mix of blues,rock,R&B and in this case even a bit of night club jazz.In any case any fan of Bonnie Raitt or rocking blues and soul styled music will have a a terric time listening to this CD!!

5 out of 5 stars WOW.......2005-07-07

Am I Crazy to be the only one here to give this FIVE stars?! OK, so if compared to her other, later albums, then it's a FOUR. But on its own, as a nascent Bonnie Raitt experience, its stellar!

She effortlessly conquers several genres here: jazz, soul, swamp rock and the blues. The titular track is flows like honey, and I really loved the poignant "Sleep's Dark and Silent Gate." The rest of the songs totally stand the test of time! I mean, this is the first exposure I had to Bonnie and I STILL play this CD once a month!

If you like girls singin' roots rock and expressive blues, you may also enjoy Imaginary Friends' "Fragile Illusion," whose songs reflect the same genres featured on "The Glow." The dual-female lead singers give Bonnie a run for her money!

3 out of 5 stars Raitt's 6th solo record.......2001-06-20

This was Bonnie Raitt's sixth solo record, recorded in 1979. It is a solid CD with many good songs. "The Glow" and "(Goin') Wild For You Baby" are two of my favorites. These songs show the early maturity of Raitt's future success. While the other songs on the disk are good they can't compare with her more contemporary recordings. This is still a must have for any Bonnie Raitt collector.
