Worth it for Angel from Montgomery Especially good is Angel from Montgomery. A classic Bonnie Raitt album. Bonnie's fans know she closes her shows with this song and this is the first time she sang it on an album. Also excellent is That Song about the Midway- written by Joni Mitchell about Leonard Cohen! The title song is a good one,too.
A classic
Listening to this particular album brings back nice memories. I grew up listening to Bonnie Raitt, James Taylor, Joni Mitchell and the like. It's great to go back to a different time:-) This album is a true classic; hadn't heard it in years and decided to buy it again, this time on CD. "Got you on my mind" is my favorite track on this cd.
One of her best!
I bought this album back in the early seventies when it first came out and never got tired of hearing it. I have to agree with the reviewer that asks "how can anyone rate this less than 5 stars". From the first cut, "That Song About the Midway" I knew it was something special. The remake of John Prine's "Angel from Montgomery" is better than the original, and the old Howard Tate tune "ain't nobody home" is on the money. "Everything that touches you" is as soulfull as any of her previous works, and that's saying alot! This is one of those records that the more you play it the more you'll like it. Buy it and find out for yourself. . . You won't regret it.
Great classic Bonnie
This one is classic Bonnie and has my favorite version of "Angel From Montgomery" and is worth the price of purchase by itself, in my opinion. My favorite Bonnie Raitt offerings are pretty much "Nick of Time" and before.

Fabulous Bonnie
At the time I was living in Minneapolis. In the 70's, the album "Streetlights" was my introduction to Bonnie Raitt. I was browsing in a record store and this album just happened to be playing. I was actually looking for another album, but the music really caught my ear, so I asked the clerk who the singer was. He showed me the album and I purchased this album on the spot! I have been a fan of Bonnie Raitt ever since. Since I also sing, I could appreciate a great performance. All the numbers are great, but if I were forced to select my favorites, it would be "Angel From Montgomery" and "Rainy Day Man". Bonnie cannot be categorized into a particular genre. She appeals to a cross section of fans! If you haven't heard this album/cd, it will be a real treat! Right on Bonnie! Keep us humming, singing along and dancing!.
