and one of my all time favorite CDs by anyone (out of over 2000 I own). Her ability to cover a Joni Mitchell song with such ease should say enough in itself. 'Angel' is definitly her best of the 70s. Her voice is still as good today. Can't get enough of this one.
Great

Bonnie Raitt sings Joni Mitchell like an angel, the bass, percussion and guitar players come from heaven, the inspired production and mixing renders one of the best written songs sung by one of the finest, and truly prettiest, of the female rock/pop/blues vocalists of the early 1970”s. Maybe one of the best recordings ever.
Classic 70s Bonnie

"Streetlights" is classic Bonnie Raitt from the 70s, a staple of my college years & for several of my college friends as well. I saw her opening that Fall ('74) for Jackson Browne, also a longtime favorite, who I think was promoting his recently released "Late for the Sky". I was already a fan of his, & became a fan of Bonnie's as well, & still am. A really, really good record.
Bonnie Covers it Right

Bonnie Raitt at her best. This is a great, classic album. Joni Mitchell's "That Song About the Midway" John Prine's "Angel From Montgomery" and James Taylor's "Rainy Day Man" are standouts. Every track is good, and her voice is superb. This should be in the definitive Bonnie Raitt collection.
Streetlights

Listening to the roots of how she developed her sounds is incredible. In many ways, it is like listening to James Taylor's "James Taylor" (the Apple album) or his "Sweet Baby James." Streetlights is packed with great songs of various styles, each of which is a gem. If you like her 1990's commercial successes, you love this as well.
This record has soul!

Despite the cookie cutter mentailty of critics who insist when an artist "softens" or commercializes their sound it automatically equates to some lessening of their veracity or general creative power this record has soul! That's right people. S-O-U-L. Adding strings on a few songs only changes the color of the voice. The skill and delivery of the singer does not change. The first song is profoundly sung and stunningly poetic.
