This is a fantastic album. Bonnie Raitt seems to be little known over here, although she's well known and respected in the States. I first heard her on her Grammy-winning 'Nick of Time' album. This 'Best Of' album pulls together some fine songs.She has a voice that can pull off blues, rock, country, ballad and a pop-style.
The songs on this album are evocative, moving from tales of ageing and loneliness through finding love, losing love and accepting all that life throws at her. The stand-out track for me will always be the achingly beautiful but sad 'I Can't Make You Love Me' but I must confess to also loving the bluesy 'Love Me Like A Man' and the rock of 'Rock Steady' which sees her rocking with Bryan Adams. In fact, I could wax lyrical about the first 14 songs or so on this 18 track album.
If you've never heard Bonnie Raitt before, give this album a try. I sure you won't be disappointed.

During the seventies and eighties, Bonnie recorded many fine albums for Warner, building up a significant fan base without really hitting the big time. Eventually, Warner lost interest and Bonnie's contract was not renewed. She switched to Capitol in 1989 and recorded the album Nick of time, which won plenty of awards and sold better than any of her Warner albums.
This compilation covers Bonnie's music on Capitol from 1989 to 2003. Overall, the music is slicker than Bonnie's Warner recordings - not so much as to put off long-standing fans but enough to attract a lot of new fans. Thus, there is more pop and rock but less blues in these recordings, while there is little or no folk that was so significant in some of Bonnie's seventies albums. However, there are other influences, most notably the final track (Hear me Lord), a Zimbabwean song that retains some of its African flavor.
The album opens with three tracks from Nick of time, which are followed by three from Luck of the draw, three from Longing in their hearts, three from the live album Road tested, two from Fundamental and four from Silver lining. Among the highlights are Thing called love, Something to talk about, I can't make you love me, Rock steady (with Bryan Adams) and the aforementioned Hear me Lord.
This is a truly magnificent collection of Bonnie's music. I still favor her Warner recordings, for which there is also a compilation (Bonnie Raitt Collection). Buy both if you can afford to.

Putting together a Best of by Bonnie Raitt after a
decade of excellent musical adventures (Capitol years 1989-2003)
and touring the British Isles and Scandanavian countries this summer, should
bring Bonnie more worldwide fans and more regonition. With so few slide guitar/blues based female rock/pop artist out there with musical taste shes shone all these years,
Bonnie Raitt stand alones in the music world and the material on this new collection prove why Bonnie deserves to be more popular in Europe. There is just so much excellent kick ass material
and heartfelt songs one after the other and this barely hits
on what made Bonnie such a loved artist well before these
recordings. Bonnie expanded her sound during the 90's thanks to the talents of people like Don Was and company and Bonnie's finally believing in what she can do in the studio. From first rate songs as
"Thing called Love" and "Something to talk about" to her classic "I can't make you love me" to the smokin blues of "Love sneaking up on you", "Love me like a man" and "I believe I'm in love w/you"
to the newer stuff "Spit of Love", a great Bonnie original, the beautiful "Silver Lining" the
finger popping R&B class of "Time of our Lives" and the
stylistic gems "I can't help you now" and "Hear me Lord" Bonnie
Raitt continues to expand her musical boundries and is a pure
talented dynamite in a prefab 15 min fame world. Looking forward
to Best of Bonnie Raitt Vol.2 years.
