Editorial Review: Album Description: Rhino/Warner Bros. digital remaster of 1982 release. Features 'River Of Tears', 'Me And The Boys' & 'Baby Come Back'. Amazon.com: The late '70s found Bonnie Raitt casting about for a new musical direction. Ironically, she found it on 1982's Green Light by going back to the basics. The album finds her using her road musicians, the Bump Band (including former Faces keyboardist Ian McLagan) and handling most of the guitar chores herself, resulting in a confident, high-energy set. The hard-charging "Willy Wontcha" rocks with abandon, as do Raitt's covers of a pair of NRBQ tunes, "Me and the Boys" and "Green Lights." There's also a Bob Dylan track, "Let's Keep It Between Us" and a little easy-in-the-islands charm, courtesy of Eddy Grant's "Baby Come Back." --Daniel Durchholz Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - if you like bonnie raitti had this album years ago. i was looking for it for along time.found it on amazon. fantastic album as its bonnie raitts early years. Rating:  - Yellow LightRaitt claims this album was an attempt to get back to her roots, and was surprised when critics labeled it as an attempt to go New Wave. The funny thing to me is that she would see this as going back to her roots. This album sounds NOTHING like any of her early work, and songs like "Me and the Boys" could have been included on the soundtrack to "Fast Times at Ridgemont High." This is a rocking album, but it also has a cold, metallic feel that is as far away from albums like her eponymous debut and 1972's "Give it Up" as she can get. (Actually, the furthest she ever got was her next album, 1986's "Nine Lives" but that's for another review.) "Green Light" is far from Raitt's best. It's a bridge between her 70s work ... Read More: Rating:  - Early RaittClearly this is an early effort by Bonnie Raitt. You can hear where she's heading, but I listened to this CD once or twice and then retired it. Rating: - License and registration, Ma'am...Pedal down and drivin' hard, Bonnie knows how to rock and roll, too. Some hard-core fans saw 'Home Plate' and 'Green Light' as too commercial. (These are the same people who booed Dylan's electric guitar...) Throughout her career, she's done what she wants and if that honesty coincided with some more accessible music, I sure don't begrudge her. I think Sippie Wallace would approve... Rating: - Awesome (but little known) Bonnie Raitt AlbumThis has always been one of my favourite Bonnie Raitt albums! I'm so glad it finally came out on CD. "Keep This Heart In Mind" is in my opinion one of her best songs. |
