5.0 out of 5 stars The quintessential Bonnie Raitt album!, February 19, 2000

It is, by far, her best! To me, her later recordings,including "Nick of Time," were lack-luster and contrived.This folksy, bluesy concoction of really good songs with meaningful, passionate lyrics is one of my all-time favorite albums! END

4.0 out of 5 stars Bonnie's first (almost) big hit album., October 14, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Sweet Forgiveness (Audio CD)

When this was released in 1977, it looked as if the mainstream was about to catch up with the incredible music machine named Bonnie Raitt. Alas, they would have to wait another 12 years until the release of Nick of Time. This one has it all, however. Containing some of Bonnie's most rocking numbers (Gamblin' Man and Three Time Loser) to her most mellow and introspective (Paul Siebel's classic "Louise" and her take on Jackson Browne's "Farewell", Sweet Forgiveness is one of the best of the early Raitt repetoire.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great compilation, June 12, 2002

This is one of my favorites. It has a nice mixture of music that demonstrate how versatile Bonnie is. There are acoustic cuts, like Louise, as well as some a little heavier on the rock/blues side like "Three Time Loser". Another favorite is the re-make of "Runaway". She does a very good job with an older song. This CD doesn't have as much of the blues (I like slide guitar) as some of her others, but is still very good.
