(P) 2011 Rhino Entertainment Company, (C) 2011 Starbucks Coffee Company

This retrospective of material from both the Warner Bros. and Capitol Records eras of Bonnie's career was created by Starbucks for exclusive distribution in Starbucks Coffee Company establishments in North America during the month of April 2011. Stirred by a love of the blues, Bonnie Raitt emerged in the 1970s with a sound branded by her distinctive slide guitar and keen effortless vocals. Breaking through as a superstar in the late '80s, she's come to be recognized as one of the defining artists of her time.
