Just Like That

Description

With Just Like That, her twenty-first album and first new release in more than six years, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Bonnie Raitt continues to display the vitality and urgency that has defined her legendary career. The mix of sounds and approaches on Just Like That reveals how, 50 years after the release of her debut album, Raitt continues to personify what it means to stay creative, adventurous, and daring over the course of a lifes work. On this record, I wanted to stretch, she says. I always want to find songs that excite me, and whats different this time is that Ive tried some styles and topics I havent touched on before.

Just Like That was recorded in the summer of 2021 in Sausalito, CA. The players include two longtime members of Raitts band, bassist James Hutch Hutchinson and drummer Ricky Fataar, as well as two new musicians, Canadian Glenn Patscha on keyboards and backing vocals and Nashville guitarist Kenny Greenberg. Her longtime guitarist/songwriting partner George Marinelli also joined in, playing and singing on Livin for the Ones, the song they co-wrote for the album.

Once again, Bonnie took the producer reins, reuniting with her favorite recording and mixing engineer, Ryan Freeland, for their third collaboration (they each earned Grammy Awards for Raitts 2012 release, Slipstream).
