Featured Rock Albums
1989
Bonnie Raitt
– Nick of Time
Nick of Time is the kind of album that sneaks up on you—not with bombast or swagger, but with the quiet confidence of an artist who knows exactly who she is. Bonnie Raitt had been grinding it out for nearly two decades when she finally hit gold with this one, and you can hear every bit of that hard-earned experience in the grooves.
