In 1990, who won the Album of the Year Grammy for "Nick of Time"?

In 1990, Bonnie Raitt won the Album of the Year Grammy for Nick of Time. The award recognized her career-reviving tenth studio album, released by Capitol Records in March 1989 and produced by Don Was.

Nick of Time arrived after several difficult years in Raitt’s personal and professional life. Many record executives no longer considered her commercially viable, but Capitol signed her in 1988. The album’s blend of blues, rock, pop, and soul connected with a wide audience and eventually topped the Billboard 200.

At the 32nd Annual Grammy Awards on February 21, 1990, Raitt had a career-defining night, winning four awards. Nick of Time earned Album of the Year, while the album and its songs also brought her honors for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Don Was was the album’s producer, but Bonnie Raitt is the standard artist answer to this trivia question.
