Although famed primarily for her interpretation of compositions by the likes of Joni Mitchell, John Hiatt, James Taylor and Paul Brady, NICK OF TIME includes two fine Raitt-penned songs. "The Road's My Middle Name" is an up-tempo blues number, harking back to her early career performing alongside Son House and Mississippi Fred McDowell. The title track is one of her best, a sensitive examination of the traumas of ageing. Throughout the album her voice is haunting and controlled, bringing new meaning and depth to a varied range of material. Bonnie turned 40 gracefully with this album and it gave her unexpected massive success just in the nick of time.

Now available on DVD-Audio, this album was originally recorded in March of 1989. This was the album that broke Bonnie Raitt open to the public. Long a critic's darling, Bonnie paired up with producer Don Was. Was used Raitt's classic early-'70's records as a blueprint, choosing to update the sound with a smooth, professional production and a batch of excellent contemporary songs. Special features included 5.1 Surround Sound remixed by Don Was, design and production overseen by Raitt, 3 videos, lyrics, photos, and credits. Expanded package includes new liner notes by Alan Light of Spin and Tracks Magazine.
