Reviews4 stars out of 5 -- "It's mood music with a razor edge, pain fronting as bliss, delivered by a vet who understands that the blues are often about just that.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "Raitt aims to balance the new and the old. She achieves it on the choppy funk and vivid lyrics of 'Used To Rule The World'...", "Her slide-guitar playing throughout is superb, and she slips her purring voice into every song like a letter going into an envelope addressed just to you." -- Grade: A-, 3 stars out of 5 -- "Raitt -- like her East Coast counterpart Judy Collins -- remains a master interpreter of song.", "SLIPSTREAM relies on Bonnie's voice and slide playing -- and, above all, her felicitous ability to pick the right song."
Additional InformationBonnie Raitt's Slipstream is her first record since Souls Alike in 2005, and reveals her at a creative peak.
