Nick of Time专辑介绍
Bonnie Raitt 于 1949 年 11 月 8 日出生于加利福尼亚的洛杉矶，长大后成为 70 年代美国优秀的白人布鲁斯与灵歌歌手之一。她的父亲是 John Raitt ，曾担任百老汇 50 年代几部音乐剧的主角。从她进入拉德克利夫学院就读开始，她就与长期合作者——贝司手 Freebo 一起组成了一个双人演唱组。1970 年她和 Wanner Brothers 公司签约，1 年后推出了以其名字命名的首张唱片。该唱片和以后的相比不可避免地显得有些粗糙，它吸收了布鲁斯、灵歌、新奥尔良爵士乐以及她自己创作的歌曲。第 2 张唱片《 Give It Up 》录制于1972 年，是她和 woodstock 音乐家联袂创作的，其中包括 Eric Kaz ，他的歌曲《 Love Has NO Pride 》是该唱片的精彩部分，充分体现了 Raitt 伤感凄婉的演唱风格。
作为一名著名的波士顿地方歌手，Raitt 与布鲁斯歌手 Sippie Wallace 一起在 1972 年安·阿伯爵士音乐节上亮相，并与其他布鲁斯歌手如 Otis Rush 等共同在一些俱乐部和大学演出。1973 年，她和 Little Feat 乐队的 Lowell George 合作，在好莱坞录制了一张经典唱片《 Takin‘ My Time 》，主要曲目由 Randy Newman 、Eric Kaz、Mose Allison 和 Fred McDowell 创作。1974 年她举办了巡回演出，并录制了唱片《Streetlights 》,可惜该唱片令人失望。不过她在 1975 年和 1977 年分别推出的《 Home Plate 》和《 Sweet Forgiveness 》又恢复了原有水准，后者还是她迄今为止销量最大的唱片。此后，她在 1979 年录制了《 The Glow 》并和 Bumip Band 一起在 1982 年完成了《 Green Light 》，该乐队的主要成员是前 The Faces 乐队的键盘手 Ian McLagan.
80 年代，酒精和毒品一直是困扰她的主要问题，最糟糕的结果就是与她签约 15 年的Wanner Brothers 公司把她一脚踢开。但是 Raitt 并未因此一蹶不振，她开始为好莱坞写剧本，随着她的酗酒和毒品问题的逐渐摆脱，她以一张回归的专辑《 Nick of Time 》再次复出歌坛，并在当年度的格莱美奖上再次成名。随后专辑成为金唱片，继而成为白金唱片。1990 年，她为 John Lee Hooker 的专辑《 The Healer 》创作了几首歌曲。之后，她的 专辑《 Luck of the Draw 》(1991)和《 Longing in Their Hearts 》(1994)给她带来了更大的成功，获得了多白金的销量，赢得了多项格莱美奖。《 Luck of the Draw 》中产生了一首令人难以忘怀的歌曲《 I Can‘t Make You Love Me 》。
这张专辑在滚石杂志选出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第229位。
Prior to Nick of Time, Bonnie Raitt had been a reliable cult artist, delivering a string of solid records that were moderate successes and usually musically satisfying. From her 1971 debut through 1982's Green Light, she had a solid streak, but 1986's Nine Lives snapped it, falling far short of her usual potential. Therefore, it shouldn't have been a surprise when Raitt decided to craft its follow-up as a major comeback, collaborating with producer Don Was on Nick of Time. At the time, the pairing seemed a little odd, since he was primarily known for the weird hipster funk of Was (Not Was) and the B-52's' quirky eponymous debut, but the match turned out to be inspired. Was used Raitt's classic early-'70s records as a blueprint, choosing to update the sound with a smooth, professional production and a batch of excellent contemporary songs. In this context, Raitt flourishes; she never rocks too hard, but there is grit to her singing and playing, even when the surfaces are clean and inviting. And while she only has two original songs here, Nick of Time plays like autobiography, which is a testament to the power of the songs, performances, and productions. It was a great comeback album that made for a great story, but the record never would have been a blockbuster success if it wasn't for the music, which is among the finest Raitt ever made. She must have realized this, since Nick of Time served as the blueprint for the majority of her '90s albums.
