Bonnie Raitt Road Tested 1995

Road Tested is a live album by Bonnie Raitt and her band.

It was recorded at the Paramount Theatre in Oakland, California at her concerts between July 11th to 19th, 1995.

While she released her first studio album in 1971, it wasn’t until November 1995 that she recorded and released this, her first official live album.

It comes in two forms:

  • A double CD with 22 songs (various codes see discogs).
  • A single CD with 16 songs (code 7243 8 36077 2 3)

I think the 22 track version is for North America and the single CD is for Europe. Certainly I bought the shorter version, unaware that there was a more extensive album. If the same thing happens to you, the Amazon mp3 Autorip has all 22 songs and they can all be bought individually.

There is also a DVD called Road Tested.

This is excellent live album that helps to popularise blues and blues rock as it edges into classic rock territory.
