Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0081227837921 Format: Original recording reissued, Original recording remastered Label: Rhino / Wea Manufacturer: Rhino / Wea MPN: 78379 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Rhino / Wea Release Date: March 05, 2002 Studio: Rhino / Wea Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential recording: Along with Give It Up, Bonnie Raitt's third album, Takin' My Time, stands as her finest work prior to her 1989 critical and commercial watershed, Nick of Time. Featuring an eclectic mix of pop, rock, blues, and soul, the material ranges from Eric Kaz's powerful ballad "Cry Like a Rainstorm" and Jackson Browne's "I Thought I Was a Child" to the snappy acoustic blues of Mississippi Fred McDowell's "Write Me a Few of Your Lines/Kokomo Blues" and the charming calypso "Wah She Go Do." Raitt is backed on the album by members of Little Feat as well as Taj Mahal, legendary New Orleans drummer Earl Palmer, and Rolling Stones sax man Ernie Watts, giving the album a loose, grooving vibe. Her versions of Mose Allison's smoldering "Everybody's Cryin' Mercy" and Randy Newman's sly "Guilty" are real standouts. --Daniel Durchholz Album Description: Rhino/Warner Bros. digital remaster of her 1973 album. Features the legendary songwriting of Jackson Browne and Randy Newman. Average Rating:
 Rating: - my all-time fav from BonnieI grew up listening to this classic from Bonnie Raitt. My mom played the album so many times, the words are imbedded in my memory. Now I own the cd and can't thank my mom enough for turning me into a huge Bonnie Raitt fan! Most of these songs bring me to a deeper, bluesy place. I usually choose to listen to this cd when I need to slow down, get a little perspective, and can enjoy a good glass of wine. It's a must-have for any blues music lover! Rating: - A masterpieceThis album was my first introduction to Bonnie Raitt some 33 years ago and I've never stopped loving it. For some strange reason the second track I Gave My Love A Candle got lodged so deeply in my head, I remember having a vivid dream about it and meeting Raitt, like some special discourse with a kindred soul. A very emotional experience (the dream & album) and though critics have named other albums as her best, this and the overlooked Fundamental remain my biggest faves. Takin My Time has great ... Read More Rating: - Third album is a classicA decade and a half before Bonnie captured the public imagination with her 1989 album, Nick of time, she was already building a solid reputation with her blend of blues, rock and folk music, of which this album is a fine example although the blues are the dominant influence here. It may not have been what mainstream commercial radio stations were looking for at the time but, like Bonnie's other early albums, continues to sell steadily while many bigger-selling artists of the time are now represented ... Read More Rating: - One of Bonnie's BestThe first Bonnie Raitt album I ever bought, and after over 30 years, still my favorite. It'll bring you to tears, and bring you to your feet. Listen to it and wonder why it took so darn long for Bonnie to become a major star. Music doesn't get much better than this. Rating: - THE GREAT EARLY BONNIE RAITTThis is the stuff she was playing at Jack's tiny club on Mass. Ave. in Cambridge, MA back around 1970. Care about history--pick this up. This is Bonnie when she was uncertain of her future and had the blues maybe even better than she expressed them. |
