Bonnie Raitt at Minneapolis Convention Center
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 9, 2013
Slipstream Tour 2013
Bonnie Raitt
With Special Guest: Mavis Staples
Bonnie Raitt started anew with the release of her nineteenth album, Slipstream. The
album marked her return to studio recording after seven years and the launch of her label, Redwing Records. A huge success, Slipstream sold over a quarter-million copies in 2012, making it one of the top selling independent albums, and earned Raitt her 10th
GRAMMY Award (Best Americana Album). From the New York Times to People
Magazine, 'Slipstream' was also lauded in numerous top critics lists for album of the
year. Her new album delivers some of the most surprising and rewarding music of
Bonnie Raitts remarkable career, thanks in part to some experimental sessions with
celebrated producer Joe Henry.
On their second collaboration, legendary singer Mavis Staples and Wilco leader Jeff
Tweedy have crafted a gospel album for the 21st century, a music that strives for faith in
a world where nothing can be taken for granted. On One True Vine, Mavis Staples gives
voice to something new in her repertoire, something deeper and more resonant with our
times; longtime fans will notice a new reserve in her singing, a muted, plaintive quality
that serves the darker, more nuanced songs collected here perfectly.
