The performer's most recent studio attempt, 2005's "Souls Alike," marked her eighteenth release and her number one time pickings on manufacturer duties. The set debuted at No. 19 on The Billboard 200 and spawned adult-contemporary singles "I Will Not Be Broken" and "I Don't Want Anything to Change."
Raitt recorded the album with the members of her tight-knit touring band, with whom she has worked for more than a decade. The players include bassist Hutch Hutchinson, drummer Ricky Fataar, guitarist/keyboardist George Marinelli and keyboardist Jon Cleary.
"With this band, it's the first or second takes on near all the album," Raitt said in an online bio. "It keeps the kind of spontaneity that makes the music clean and alive."
