Bonnie Raitt - Give It Up (1972)

I used to have all of Bonnie Raitt's early '70s LPs, including this solid effort. Though 1973's 'Takin' My Time' was the album I liked the most, there was enough good stuff on this one to make me dig it out for a spin now and then.

The choice of songs is excellent, with Raitt particularly giving her all on a rousing version of Jackson's Browne's 'Under the Falling Sky'. Taj Mahal and the guys from Little Feat are among the folks who offer the big-voiced slide-playing lady some splendid support.
