Description
This is the first full biography of the formerly hard-drinking, blues-singing rocker who had it all, lost it all, and then got it back again. Bonnie Raitt has become a beloved star of the young, as well as the rejuvenated baby-boomers. In 1989, after a string of critically acclaimed but commercially unsuccessful albums, Bonnie Raitt suddenly broke through to the big time with her watershed album Nick of Time. Her subsequent albums have kept her in the pop music stratosphere. Bonnie Raitt: Just in the Nick of Time reveals the whole story of Bonnie Raitt's crash-and-burn lifestyle, which nearly took her down with it - What it was like for Bonnie to spend the second half of the 1970s in Linda Ronstadt's shadow - How Prince tried to save and revive Bonnie's career and why that didn't work - The truth about Bonnie Raitt's hard struggle back to sobriety - The details of her stormy personal life The facts about Raitt's political activism - And much more. Bonnie Raitt: Just in the Nick of Time is for anyone who has ever delighted in a song by this rock legend.
