Add your review here. Oddly newer songs better on this almost compilation Review written by John Fitzgerald, August 21st, 2004 This album may come off as uneven due to the fact that this is almost a compilation of 4 tracks from an aborted 1983 album project called "Tongue and groove" (the album had been fully recorded but Warner Brothers chose not to release it), one song from the soundtrack of the 1985 movie "Extremities" and 5 newly (as of 1986) recorded tracks. "Stand up to the night" is the movie song and it does sound rather typical of 80's power chord glossy dramatics but it's not bad considering Raitt is a strong artist to be reckoned with, unlike what may be found on many 80's soundtracks. "Angel" is the song on which Christine does some background vocals along with Todd Sharp, Steve Ross & Blondie Chaplin so McVie doesn't stand out very well but you can hear her smooth tones on some of the higher "ooh"s. It's a nice piano led ballad with some good slide guitar work by Bonnie at the close which makes for an effective finish. This track dates from the "Tongue & groove" sessions as does the previous three tracks. Unfortunately, they don't fair as well as "Angel". However, "True love is hard to find" is the exception out of these tracks though, with a good reggae feel, this has a distinctive Bonnie Raitt funk feel to it. "Freezin' (For a little human love)" is a rolling galloper that just doesn't work, hemmed in by it's 80's synth sound. "Excited" is OK but again it's plinky sound intrudes. It feels strange to say that the 1986 tracks are the best ones, it could just be that the legend surrounding the "Tongue and groove" recordings is more interesting than the recordings themselves, as much as I would hate to agree with WB on their reluctance to release them (though I'm sure it was for reasons that it shouldn't have been for). A bright numbing Bryan Adams cover opens the album in "No way to treat a lady", though you can see his style a mile away here, Bonnie rocks harder here than on most recordings she's done to this date, this may even still be the most rocking track she's ever done overall (though I think "Me and the boys" from her 1982 "Green light" album would give this track a run for it's money on that score). "Runnin' back to me" tries to rock even harder with it's fast beat punch but apart from a few nice licks, it's lightweight stuff. "Who but a fool (Thief into paradise)" is a grower but you'll enjoy it once you know it, it has a slight soul/funk feel featuring horns that work well. "Crime of passion" is a breezy mid tempo highlight that will grown on you as well, though you might think it suffers a weak hook initially, you'll find yourself singing it after a few listens though admittedly "All day all night" employs a plastic reggae sound, it is good otherwise though. Unquestionably, if you are investigating Raitt's work, do NOT start here, but when you do get around to getting this album, you won't be disappointed, in the long run.
