Added DiffLines:

* CareerResurrection: A NoHitWonder in the 1970s, she went into the wilderness during the 1980s before making a major comeback in the early 1990s with ''Nick of Time'', to the point that she became more popular in TheNineties than she was in TheSeventies. Most of her best known songs are post-comeback.
* SpiritualSuccessor: For a time, Susan Tedeschi was billed as Raitt's spiritual successor - similarly a white female blues vocalist/guitarist with pop leanings - but Tedeschi has since moved to fronting the massive Tedeschi Trunks Band, embracing more of a southern rock sound in the process.
