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. There's no blues edge here whatsoever, and Raitt's guitar playing is subdued--both detractions--but the album also introduces "Angel from Montgomery," the definitive version of John Prine's piercing ballad. Raitt dips further into contemporary singer-songwriter fare with Joni Mitchell's "That Song About the Midway" and James Taylor's "Rainy Day Man," but the album peaks with Allen Toussaint's thoughtful (and funky) "What Is Success." --Daniel Durchholz

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars A classic.......2007-03-29

I grew up listening to Bonnie Raitt, James Taylor, Joni Mitchell and the like. Listening to this particular album brings back nice memories. It's great to go back to a different time:-) This album is a true classic; hadn't heard it in years and decided to buy it again, this time on CD. "Got you on my mind" is my favorite track on this cd.

5 out of 5 stars One of her best!.......2007-02-27

I have to agree with the reviewer that asks "how can anyone rate this less than 5 stars". I bought this album back in the early seventies when it first came out and never got tired of hearing it. From the first cut, "That Song About the Midway" I knew it was something special. The remake of John Prine's "Angel from Montgomery" is better than the original, and the old Howard Tate tune "ain't nobody home" is on the money. "Everything that touches you" is as soulfull as any of her previous works, and that's saying alot! This is one of those records that the more you play it the more you'll like it. Buy it and find out for yourself...You won't regret it.

4 out of 5 stars Great classic Bonnie.......2007-02-16

My favorite Bonnie Raitt offerings are pretty much "Nick of Time" and before. This one is classic Bonnie and has my favorite version of "Angel From Montgomery" and is worth the price of purchase by itself, in my opinion.

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous Bonnie.......2003-07-15

In the 70's, the album "Streetlights" was my introduction to Bonnie Raitt. At the time I was living in Minneapolis. I was browsing in a record store and this album just happened to be playing. I was actually looking for another album, but the music really caught my ear, so I asked the clerk who the singer was. He showed me the album and I purchased this album on the spot! I have been a fan of Bonnie Raitt ever since. Since I also sing, I could appreciate a great performance. All the numbers are great, but if I were forced to select my favorites, it would be "Angel From Montgomery" and "Rainy Day Man". Bonnie cannot be categorized into a particular genre. She appeals to a cross section of fans! If you haven't heard this album/cd, it will be a real treat! Right on Bonnie! Keep us humming, singing along and dancing!
