Bonnie Raitt's 'Souls Alike' tour grows
Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and nine-time Grammy winner Bonnie Raitt plans to spend a year touring the world to back her upcoming album, "Souls Alike," which is due in stores Sept. 13.
The outing's recently expanded initial leg, which is scheduled to run from October through mid-December, will visit theaters throughout North America. Tickets for several dates are on sale now, with additional on-sales set to roll out through September, according to a press release.
Raitt's backing band for the tour will include bassist Hutch Hutchinson, who has been with Raitt for over 20 years; drummer Ricky Fataar (Beach Boys, The Rutles), who's been playing with her on and off since 1982; guitarist/keyboardist George Marinelli (Bruce Hornsby and the Range), who's been playing with her on and off since 1993; and keyboardist Jon Cleary (Eric Clapton, Taj Mahal), whose New Orleans-based band The Absolute Monster Gentlemen has previously supported Raitt on tour.
"Souls Alike" is Raitt's follow-up to 2002's "Silver Lining," and her 18th album overall. It's the first album she's produced herself.
"I Will Not Be Broken," the new album's first single, is scheduled to hit radio later this month.
Raitt was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002.
