Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars If you're a Bonnie Raitt fan, you'll enjoy this DVD.......2006-11-17

More of the usual quality of Bonnie Raitt.

4 out of 5 stars Raitt's voice at her best on this uneven album.......2006-07-22

This underrated album showcases Bonnie Raitt's excellent voice before she trashed it with too much hard living. It also illustrates her ability to perform truly satisfying blues/rock with a gifted band of musicians. Listeners who became Raitt fans with the release of "Nick of Time" and later albums, as well as listeners who thought "Nick" and later albums aren't all that great, will be impressed with this disc, which is a much better example of her bluesy rock sensibility than the overproduced albums of the '90s. The song selection is uneven, but it's worth the price for the title song alone, which showcases Raitt's confident, low-key approach during this period of her career.

5 out of 5 stars My Favorite Bonnie Raitt.......2006-05-19

I've had this as an album, a cassette and now the remastered CD. I absolutely adore this collection. It's Bonnie Raitt at her best and that is fine indeed.

5 out of 5 stars "Two Lives" the standout.......2006-03-11

This is a wonderful CD. Bonnie can't go wrong from the first track to the last, but what made it a superb CD, for me is #3 "Two Lives" The arrangement of the choral background and the heart breaking lyrics is beautiful. You find yourself singing along with the chorus, "Someone said time will ease the pain of losing your love." "But, I believe whorever wrote that song, never had a broken heart." Just a gorgeous song. I also like Bonnie's interpretation of Del Shannon's "Runaway." She gave it a piquant country flavor, very refreshing. This is a great CD,

5 out of 5 stars A fine mix of blues, rock and pop.......2004-05-30

Bonnie has demonstrated through the years that she can sing many different styles of music, all of them brilliantly - mainly blues and rock but also including pop, folk and even (on the Urban cowboy soundtrack) some country. This album does not show everything that Bonnie can do but it shows most of her major influences.

The most famous song here is surely Runaway, a cover of Del Shannon's early sixties classic. Yet the song is almost unrecognisable compared to the original, which was a typical slice of rock'n'roll. Bonnie re-interprets the song, slowing it down to convert it to a blues-rock ballad. It works brilliantly and was an American hit for Bonnie.

Bonnie has sometimes been compared to Linda Ronstadt. I regard them as very different singers but there are a few songs that both of them have recorded. On this album, you can hear one of these songs, Louise. However, Linda recorded the song on one of her early albums so her own music had changed quite a lot by the time Bonnie recorded the song.

Elsewhere, Bonnie delivers fine versions of Three time loser (Don Covay), Taking my time (Little Feat), Home (Karla Bonoff), Gambling man (Eric Kaz) and My opening farewell (Jackson Brown).
