Bonnie Raitt sings it, but "Have a Heart" belongs to Bonnie Hayes, who wrote the words and the music, and it lands on Nick of Time, the 1989 album that turned Raitt's fortunes around. Don Was produced and Ed Cherney recorded and mixed, and the studio band is a crack one: Hutch Hutchinson on bass, Ricky Fataar on drums, Scott Thurston on keyboards and Paulinho da Costa on percussion, with David Lasley and Arnold McCuller singing backup.
Nick of Time was her tenth studio album and her first for Capitol, and after years of personal and professional struggle it became her commercial breakthrough: a number-one album, five million copies sold and three Grammys, Album of the Year among them, shared with Was. In 2022 the Library of Congress added it to the National Recording Registry.
