230 - Bonnie Raitt - Nick of Time

[csberry]

Nick of Time is a fine listen, but I never quite shook the feeling that the album is a collection of "your mother's style of blues rock." Don Was put such a smooth polish on these songs, that they seem perfectly made for broadcast on soft rock and Secretary AC stations across the country. Bonnie does rock some, but never enough to rock the boat.


Songs I Knew I liked: "Thing Called Love" and "Have a Heart"

Songs I Now Like: "Cry on My Shoulder" reminds me of Wendy & Lisa.

Songs I Can Go the Rest of My Life Never Hearing Again: Honestly, I wouldn't feel sad if I never heard any of the songs on Nick of Time I didn't list in the above two categories.
