At the same time, Raitt received a fourth [[Grammy Award]] for her duet "[[I'm in the Mood (John Lee Hooker song)|I'm in the Mood]]" with [[John Lee Hooker]] on his album ''[[The Healer (John Lee Hooker album)|The Healer]]''.<ref name="LarkinBlues"/> ''Nick of Time'' was also the first of many of her recordings to feature her longtime rhythm section of [[Ricky Fataar]] and [[James "Hutch" Hutchinson]] (although previously Fataar had played on her ''Green Light'' album and Hutchinson had worked on ''Nine Lives''), both of whom continue to record and tour with her. Since its release in 1989, ''Nick of Time'' has currently sold over five million copies in the US alone.

Raitt followed up this success with three more Grammy Awards for her next album, 1991's ''[[Luck of the Draw (album)|Luck of the Draw]]'', which sold seven million copies in the United States. Three years later, in 1994, she added two more Grammys with her album ''[[Longing in Their Hearts]]'', her second number one album, that sold two million copies in the US.<ref name="LarkinBlues"/> Raitt's collaboration with Don Was amicably came to an end with 1995's live release ''[[Road Tested]]''.<ref name="LarkinBlues"/> Released to solid reviews, it was certified [[Music recording certification|gold]] in the US.

"[[Rock Steady (Bonnie Raitt and Bryan Adams song)|Rock Steady]]" was a hit written by [[Bryan Adams]] and [[Gretchen Peters]] in 1995. The song was written as a duet with Bryan Adams and Bonnie Raitt for her Road Tested tour, which also became one of her albums. The original demo version of the song appears on Adams' 1996 single "Let's Make a Night to Remember".

For her next studio album, Raitt hired [[Mitchell Froom]] and [[Tchad Blake]] as her producers. "I loved working with [[Don Was]] but I wanted to give myself and my fans a stretch and do something different," Raitt stated. Her work with Froom and Blake was released on ''[[Fundamental (Bonnie Raitt album)|Fundamental]]'' in 1998.
