Bonnie Raitt's music is undergoing a renaissance, thanks in part to Charli XCX's sample of 'Nick of Time.'
Bonnie Raitt is in the midst of a Raittaisance — with artists like Charli XCX and Maggie Rogers honoring her work.. Raitt was already familiar with Vernon, especially after he covered her 1991 standard “I Can’t Make You Love Me,” with a bit of “Nick of Time” tacked on, a dozen years back. This time, Vernon was circling back to the latter song, but in a very different way.
What the world didn’t see, or hear, was that on the way up to the stage, Raitt cupped her hands over her mouth and said, to herself, “Can youbelieve this?” As she admits now, “I didn’t want to be filmed on camera , but I had to say it to somebody, so I said it into my hand.” And in December, Raitt will join the Grateful Dead, Francis Ford Coppola, and jazz trumpeter Arturo Sandoval as recipients of this year’s, one of the country’s most prestigious arts awards.
