Streetlights

"Streetlights" is the fourth album by Bonnie Raitt, released on the Warner Bros label in 1974. Bonnie Raitt had delivered three stellar albums, but chart success wasn't forthcoming, even if good reviews and a cult following were. So, she teamed with producer Jerry Ragovoy for Streetlights and attempted to make the crossover record that Warner so desperately wished she'd release. Several concessions were made here -- particularly the middle-of-the road arrangements (as opposed to the appealingly laid-back sounds of her previous records), the occasional use of strings and some of the song selections . The album peaked at number 80 on The Billboard 200
