Comments for Raitt, Bonnie, Homeplate

After the slick nature of STREETLIGHTS (which some didn't like), Bonnie got back to basics on this one, creating her best album since TAKIN' MY TIME. Bonnie has always been a supporter of various unknown songwriters, and this album proves that notion with some great songs by people it seems only Bonnie would know about. Some better known ones include Allen Toussiant, J.D. Souther (good friend of the Eagles), Little Feat, Delbert McClinton, and Eric Kaz. One of the reasons for the rougher sound of this album was that it was produced by Paul Rotchild, better known as the man behind the boards on the Doors' classic albums.
