Music reviews of Green Light
Music Review: Another Raitt career highlight....
Rating: 4 Stars
Being a fan of Bonnie's music since the middle70's period, I was use to her wonderful voice, guitar
stylings and assorted material she chose to sing and
sometimes wrote and recorded herself. I just loved
her early work to death, played it so much growing
up. Pick up any Bonnie collection during the 1970's and theres always
something to love from this period., she puts her soul into
everything. By the early 80'she seem to start to
struggle just to be heard on a radio station and
with this collection she almost got it right. Like
earlier reviews stated she just needed that one
single to push this into mainstream, but for one
reason or another it sank. I always felt this was
one of her best records, I saw her perform this
material in Boston after its release and I remember
the concert was considered one or two of the best
shows (LIVE) in Boston in 82'. The material ROCKED!She was dazzill'in to watch and had complete control of these songs.
I feel it was difficult for Bonnie to put this
energy on a record, she should have recorded these
concerts live, they were like nothing I'd ever experienced
going to see Bonnie. Great songs on GREEN LIGHT, but
the production on this record just wasn't quite right. Her
vocals had been recorded much better in the past, she blended into the music too much and that voice should have been recorded much more in the front and center, like Don Was did,
now listen to her, she's an awesome vocalist with
a tight blues rock sound and she can do anything. This
period, early 80's was the time video came jumping
out and the flashiest got noticed and Bonnie never
really compromised herself to a sellout, it took
time and "Green Light" was just a great step'in stone
for a women like Bonnie showcasing what a great talent
she would be in the not that far away 90's.

Description of Green Light
Rhino/Warner Bros. digital remaster of 1982 release. Features 'River Of Tears', 'Me And The Boys' & 'Baby Come Back'.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
