Bonnie Raitt grew up in a musical and theatrical household as the daughter of Broadway performer John Raitt and pianist Marge Goddard Raitt. She began playing guitar as a child and developed a lasting commitment to blues, folk, rhythm and blues, and roots music. While attending Radcliffe College, she became increasingly involved in the Cambridge music community and soon chose performing over an academic career.

Warner Bros. Records released her self-titled debut album in 1971. Bonnie Raitt introduced her slide guitar playing and interpretive range through blues, folk, and contemporary songs including “Bluebird,” “Walking Blues,” “Finest Lovin’ Man,” and “Women Be Wise.” Give It Up, Takin’ My Time, Streetlights, Home Plate, and Sweet Forgiveness followed during the 1970s, establishing Raitt as both a respected recording artist and a relentless touring performer.

Her 1977 recording of “Runaway” gave Raitt her first substantial pop-radio success. The Glow closed the decade, while Green Light and Nine Lives carried her Warner Bros. catalog into the 1980s. Although those albums did not provide the commercial breakthrough she wanted, they preserved the mix of blues, rock, soul, country, and singer-songwriter material that remained central to her work.

Raitt signed with Capitol Records and released Nick of Time in 1989. The album reached number one on the Billboard 200 and won three Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year, while Raitt received another Grammy that year for her performance with John Lee Hooker. “Nick of Time,” “Thing Called Love,” “Have a Heart,” and “The Road’s My Middle Name” introduced her music to a much larger audience.

Luck of the Draw followed in 1991 with “Something to Talk About,” “I Can’t Make You Love Me,” “Not the Only One,” and “Good Man, Good Woman.” Longing in Their Hearts arrived in 1994 and won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Album. Its title song, “Love Sneakin’ Up On You,” “Dimming of the Day,” and “You” extended one of the most commercially successful periods of Raitt’s career.

Raitt continued with Fundamental in 1998, Silver Lining in 2002, and the self-produced Souls Alike in 2005. After a recording hiatus, she launched her Redwing Records label with Slipstream in 2012. The album won the Grammy Award for Best Americana Album and included “Right Down the Line,” “Used to Rule the World,” “Standing in the Doorway,” and “Not Cause I Wanted To.”

Dig In Deep followed in 2016 with twelve songs, including the correctly titled “The Comin’ Round Is Going Through” and “The Ones We Couldn’t Be.” Just Like That… arrived in 2022. At the 2023 Grammy Awards, Raitt won Best Americana Performance for “Made Up Mind,” Best American Roots Song for “Just Like That,” and Song of the Year for the title track.

Raitt was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2000 and has earned 13 Grammy Awards from 31 nominations. Her activism has remained as consistent as her recording career, including her role as a founding member of Musicians United for Safe Energy and decades of work supporting environmental protection, social justice, human rights, artists’ rights, and music education. She remained on the road with her band during an extensive 2026 tour.
