Luck Of The Draw

Raitt,Bonnie ~ Luck Of The Draw As its title makes clear, the 1991 sequel to Bonnie Raitt's platinum breakthrough on Nick Of Time takes nothing for granted. Raitt had achieved sobriety, renewed commercial focus, and then the payday that the prior album yielded, but Luck Of The Draw mirrors an even fiercer determination to make music as if her life depended on it. Again teamed with producer Don Was, Raitt surpasses herself with her best album to date: her wonderfully lush, blues-rimmed voice and sinuous slide guitar wrap themselves around a dozen potent songs culled from a typically shrewd mix of writers including Paul Brady, John Hiatt, Bonnie Hayes, Shirley Eikhard, and Billy Vera, and Raitt herself turns in her most generous batch of originals yet. Sympathetic guests include Brady and Delbert McClinton on harmony vocals, Richard Thompson on guitar, and Heartbreaker Benmont Tench on organ, in a program including the sassy "Something to Talk About," the sultry "Slow Ride," a soaring "Not the Only One," and the heartbreaking "I Can't Make You Love Me." This isn't luck, it's artistry. --Sam Sutherland

Boz Scaggs, Greatest Hits Live.

1993 album, ft ''If I Ever Lose My Faith In You'' & ''Fields Of Gold''. The former jazzman-turned-punk is now more middle-of-the-road than a yellow stripe. But Ten Summoner's Tales is by far the most engaging of his solo records. The singles ''If I Ever Lose My Faith in You'' and ''Fields of Gold'' prove the man can lighten up long enough to go deep. ''She's Too Good For Me'' would have been a good Police single if it weren't for the pseudo-classical midsection that takes its joke far too

The film's soundtrack was released in 1998 under the production of Don Was. The album included the works of several country music and adult contemporary artists, including Garth Brooks, The Rolling Stones, Bob Seger and Sheryl Crow. One of its cuts, Brooks's ''To Make You Feel My Love,'' was a Number One single on the Billboard country singles charts in August 1998. Though it follows a standard movie formula and predictable plot twists, the film Hope Floats is saved in part by the above-average
