Just Like That... CD / Album

'Just Like That.' was recorded in the summer of 2021 in Sausalito, CA. The players include two longtime members of Raitt's 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 favourite recording and mixing engineer, Ryan Freeland, for their third collaboration (they each earned GRAMMY Awards for Raitt's 2012 release, 'Slipstream'). 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 life's work. 'On this record, I wanted to stretch', she says. 'I always want to find songs that excite me, and what's different this time is that I've tried some styles and topics I haven't touched on before'.
