New John Raitt rarities CD release!

1 April 2025
I’m excited to share this new remarkable collection of rarities from my Dad’s recordings. A lot of love and curating went into putting this together and I’m very grateful to Tim at Stage Door Records and Nick Van Hoogstraten, our other Raitt family ‘brother,’ for their ongoing efforts to keep Dad’s legacy alive.
Hope you enjoy too!
