Sweet Forgiveness


Sweet Forgiveness is the sixth album by Bonnie Raitt, released in 1977. The single "Two Lives" was written by Mark T. Jordan of the Edison Electric Band.
Raitt's cover of the Del Shannon hit "Runaway" was issued as a single, reaching No. 57 on the U.S. singles chart.

Critical reception

Rolling Stone wrote that Raitt has "abandoned her flowing naturalness for a plodding roughness which, unfortunately, matches producer Paul Rothchild’s singular lack of imagination."
