The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer's most recent studio effort, 2005's "Souls Alike," marked her 18th release and her first time taking on production 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 nearly all the album," Raitt said in an online bio. "It keeps the kind of spontaneity that makes the music fresh and alive."

The singer/songwriter/guitarist followed "Souls Alike" in 2006 with a live set, "Bonnie Raitt and Friends," which marked the inaugural release of the "VH1 Classic Decades Rock Live!" series. That album, which features guest stars including Norah Jones, Ben Harper, Alison Krauss and Keb' Mo', was recorded during a fall 2005 concert at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City.
