Bonnie Raitt - Give It Up
I've got to be honest here I've heard of Boz Scaggs Bonnie Raitt, but that's as far as my knowledge goes I know nothing else about him her, yes I've already talked about what a musical novice I am - I mean before listening to this I wasn't even sure what musical genre Boz Scaggs Bonnie Raitt was.
Bonnie Raitt - Give It Up
...there, hopefully nobody should notice I just copied and pasted what I previously wrote and changed a few bits, but it's true and shameful, that I didn't really know much about Bonnie Raitt other than the fact she wasn't Bonnie Tyler (congratulations on that dumb statement). I thought I would acknowledge that Give It Up is her 1972 album and she's the first female recording artist that I've listened to on this countdown.
Give It Up Or Let Her Go, the album's first track is clearly influenced by classic jazz, and this wouldn't be out of place in a jazz club in years gone by, track 2 is Nothing Seems To Matter and I do have to say she has a beautiful voice (similar to Joni Mitchell), though I didn't like this track as much, it's probably just a little too slow for my personal tastes, track 3 is I Know and much more upbeat and a song I did like better, and with the 3 tracks I think it's already give the album a pretty solid start.
Track 4 is If You Got To Make A Fool Of Somebody is for me to repeat myself making me appreciate her vocals so much (as well as the musical arrangement), track 5 is Love Me Like A Man is clearly the most blues influenced track so far while track 6, Too Long At The Fair, is a ballad that is pretty good
Track 7 - Under The Falling Sky I don't know my total opinion it it's mixed as I liked parts of it better than the others. Track 8 which is You Got To Know How, has a wonderful opening, and is probably my favourite track of the album, Track 9's You Told Me Baby sounds vaguely familiar but not in the way that I think I've heard this track before but I've heard a song similar somewhere down the line. The final track Love Has No Pride is a nice final track and is the album's best ballad.
A short album (36 minutes) which every song is good rather than great, well to me there was no stand out tracks which is a shame her vocals are pretty brilliant and you can't knock the musical mix at all, an album you can listen too just never adore.
