Release Notes
——————–+
Slipstream provides ample proof of just how much fans have missed Bonnie
Raitt since 2005s Souls Alike. The album was recorded over a period of a
year at Ocean Way in Hollywood and at Joe Henrys Garfield House. The four
tracks cut at Henrys studio in 2010 and 2011 include two of his own songs,
and two covers of Bob Dylan tunes (“Million Miles” and “Standing in the
Doorway”) from the latters Time Out of Mind. Raitts voice has never
sounded better. Shes expanded her lower range with an expressiveness that
is soulful, rich, and rings emotionally true — though shes sacrificed
none of her higher register. Her voice can command and reveal a devastating
tenderness. Guest Bill Frisell appears on three tunes here. Hes on both
Dylan tunes and his lyrical, lovely touch is also heard on her definitive
reading of the Henry/Loudon Wainwright III tune “You Cant Fail Me Now.” On
“Million Miles,” the interplay between Frisells signature tone and Raitts
nasty electric slide work is symbiotic. On the latter, Raitts voice sounds
like its inside the human heart at its most open and willfully defenseless
vulnerability. It reminds us of what made her readings of “Love Has No
Pride” and “I Cant Make You Love Me” so important. Henrys stable of
players — Patrick Warren, Jay Bellerose, and Greg Leisz — are all in tow;
they provide the slow, warm spaciousness thats now de rigueur in his work
with other artists (he reserves his adventurousness for his own records).
Raitt says shell release the complete Garfield House sessions in the
future. She produced the rest, offering solid proof of what her live band
— guitarist George Marinelli, drummer Ricky Fataar, keyboardist Mike
Finnigan, and bassist James Hutchinson — is capable of in the studio. The
energy is kinetic, immediate, and deep in the rhythmic cut. Her reading of
Gerry Raffertys “Right Down the Line,” with its reggae backbeat,
rocksteady bassline, funky clavinet, and the interplay between Raitt and
Marinelli, adds dimension and texture to the original — which is just what
covers are supposed to do. “Down to You,” written by Marinelli, Raitt, and
Randall Bramblett, has the feel of Little Feats “Easy to Slip” but is more
urgent and punchy. On another ballad, Al Anderson and Bonnie Bishops “Not
Cause I Wanted To,” Raitt expresses her accountability in a relationships
failure with total openness and courage. “Aint Gonna Let You Go,” by
Anderson and Bonnie Bramlett, is a lusty, crunchy, uptempo blues driven by
Finnigans B-3 and Wurlitzer, and Raitts wrangling slide and
take-no-prisoners vocal. Though very different from one another,
Slipstreams two production styles complement one another well. That said,
Raitts road band is so seasoned and instinctive, it would be interesting
to hear her record them live in the studio as she did players on her
earliest records — but thats a wish, not a criticism. There are a few
lesser moments, but they dont distract; Slipstream reveals Raitt at
another creative peak.
