3 | Music/BonnieRaitt's sophomore album, '''Give It Up'' begins in the folk-blues style of her debut before opening up into New Orleans-styled r&b, twenties-style jazz-blues, singer-songwriter soft-rock. A frequently-cited influence on the loosely-defined Americana genre, ''Give It Up'' is a contender for the guitarist's masterpiece despite disappointing commercial returns, uncured even after her 1990's breakout. |
