Bonnie Raitt
I had never heard of this artiste until this popped up on the rota. I was very surprised that she was a multi Grammy winner with this album ahead of her pop peers in 1989, those peers including Madonna's Like a Prayer, Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation, Whitney Houston, Paula Abdul and Gloria Estafan. All of these artists were huge on the global stage in late 80's apart from Bonnie Raitt who never had a single hit beyond Northern America. So I gave it a listen thinking that it was another gift from the 1001 list that either surprises or disappoints.
It was the latter for me, having been built up by the promise of a multi award winning star I was left flat and deflated by a boring record. Sure the composition and lyrics were decent but the delivery did nothing for me and it's a generous 2*.

John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Decent guitar but god awful singing...blues should be all about soulful melodies, and emotionally charged lyrics of hardship, struggle, resilience and lament. The original tracks had none of that and the singing was so bad I wanted to stop listening after the first track. However I carried on mainly to hear how Clapton faired in a mediocre band but having finished it I wish I hadn't.
There's a lot of anti-clapton sentiment in the reviews because of the person he is and rightly so. As an artist he's overrated, sure he can play guitar but was he any better than his UK peers during his peak, such as Gilmour, Page, Beck, Townsend, May...nope.

Ray Charles
Disappointing extortionate white crap, such a shame they strangled his talent to put this out

Utter chaos but weirdly addictive, was very appreciative that they were short tracks. Not sure exactly why it's on the list but thankful for the opportunity to hear it.
