Bonnie Raitt

More about the book

Here is the definitive biography of the Grammy Award-winning singer/song-writer and political activist whose career rose rapidly in the 1970s, stalled in the 1980s, and resurged in the 1990s. This evocative, ultimately triumphant tale details Raitt's career from her debut record in 1971 to her recent, highly acclaimed "Silver Lining" album and tour; her friendships and collaborations with rhythm-and-blues legends including Howlin' Wolf, Aretha Franklin, and John Lee Hooker; her struggles with alcoholism and the often-chauvinistic music industry; and much more.
