Bonnie Raitt - Sweet Forgiveness - 1977 - Warner Bros. Records - Rock/Blues - Vinyl LP/Record Album - Used

This 1977 original pressing of Sweet Forgiveness finds Bonnie Raitt at a creative peak, blending her signature bottleneck slide guitar with a gritty, rock-forward energy that sets it apart from her earlier folk-leaning works. Released by Warner Bros. Records and produced by the legendary Paul A. Rothchild, this sixth studio album features an impressive roster of guest talent including Michael McDonald and JD Souther, providing a rich vocal backdrop to Raitt's commanding bluesy delivery. The tracklist is a masterclass in curation, highlighted by her swamp-funk reimagining of Del Shannon’s "Runaway" and soulful interpretations of songs by Jackson Browne and Karla Bonoff. As a certified Gold record, this LP captures the quintessential Southern California rock sound of the late seventies, offering a seamless transition from hard-driving rhythms to intimate, heart-wrenching ballads that remain staples of her live performances today.
