Raitt Gets Road Tested

NASHVILLE (AP) - Bonnie Raitt's Road Tested, the 1995 live performance home video celebrating her then-twenty-five-year career, will be re-mastered for a DVD release on October 23rd. The concert was filmed at the Paramount Theater in Oakland, California during a three-night stand with tour openers Ruth Brown and Charles Brown and special guests Bryan Adams, Jackson Browne, Bruce Hornsby and Kim Wilson.

Hornsby joins Raitt on the tunes "Thing Called Love" and "I Can't Make You Love Me," while Browne duets on his own "My Opening Farewell." The video features other Raitt classics like "Something to Talk About" and "Love Sneakin' Up on You," as well as Raitt singing with openers Ruth Brown and Charles Brown on "Never Make Your Move Too Soon" and covering the Talking Heads' "Burning Down the House."

Meanwhile, Raitt is at work on her sixteenth album, Silver Lining, with co-producers Tchad Blake and Mitchell Froom, who have worked together on albums by Sheryl Crow, Crowded House and Pearl Jam. The album is due out early next year.
