The band for the soon to be released recording will perform the entire album and originals, with Juli and Jon Finn on guitar and vocals, Joe Santerre, bass guitar, Larry Finn, drums and Rich Cesarini, keys. “Dig Deep,” the sole original track among the album’s array of covers, originated from Finns’ album research explored in Raitt’s own interview conversations.
