Nine Lives

Bonnie Raitt

Polished mid-80s blues-rock defined by gated drums, shimmering synthesizers, and Raitt's signature slide guitar bite. A resilient document of survival and soul.

It's Bonnie Raitt in a leather jacket under neon lights, bringing the blues to the 1980s.

A resilient and polished defiance that balances 80s studio sheen with deep-rooted blues soul.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sharp, biting slide guitar solo on No Way to Treat a Lady that cuts through the polished 80s production.
The unexpected island lilt and rhythmic shift during the chorus of True Love Is Hard to Find.
The vulnerable, stripped-back emotional weight of the closing track Angel.
