Streetlights is the 4th album by Bonnie Raitt, released in 1974. Bonnie Raitt was allotted $10,000 by Warner Bros. Records to record Streetlights, which was the least amount of money she had received to record an album. Warner Bros. was unhappy with the lengthy production surrounding her previous album, Takin' My Time, and the company limited her expenses. The two parties eventually agreed on an advance of more money, on the condition Raitt would choose a producer with a history of commercial success. Raitt chose Jerry Ragovoy, who had worked with musicians such as Janis Joplin and Dionne Warwick. Ragovoy felt Raitt's music was bogged down by blues music, and wanted to produce an album with a more slick and polished pop sound. Raitt did not like Ragovoy's decision, but acquiesced, and Streetlights was recorded during the summer of 1974.
