One of the singles will win, but a shout-out to "Luck of the Draw," in which she does a credible Linda Thompson imitation (with Richard on harmonies), the excellent Womack-Womack cover, and the clarity of "All at Once."

"Something To Talk About" still sounds great.

Solid, solid record. Had to vote for "I Can't Make You Love Me" because her vocal still chokes me up after hundreds of listens.

"I Can't Make You Love Me" is one of my 10 or 20 favourite songs of the '90s. I basically knew nothing about Bonnie Raitt when it came out, other than as somebody who got a lot of A's in Christgau's '70s guide.
