IHer first album in seven years, this nine-time Grammy Award winner and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee returns with a collection of songs interpreted as only Bonnie Raitt can. Mostly self-produced, her new album, Slipstream, also features four tracks helmed by Joe Henry. A U.S tour will be announced soon and she has been chosen as the Keynote Q&A at this year's Triple A Convention in August. Things get started with "Right Down the Line."

Stepping onto the music scene nearly six years ago, Dominic Balli hails from Oxnard, CA. With influences ranging from Stevie Wonder to Bob Marley to Lauryn Hill, Balli's music is a combination of pop-reggae melodies, gripping lyrics and make-you-move grooves. His first independent release, Public Announcement, sold more than 20,000 copies. He has since built a solid base of fans in the U.S. and around the world! The title track to his latest effort, American Dream, is our focus track.

Alabama Shakes are already one of the hottest new buzz-bands at the format. They are being featured as a MTV's "Artist To Watch" in 2012; they will make their television debut on "Conan" February 7th; and they just aired on World Cafe. The band is just finishing up a short tour right now, then head to the U.K., and will be back on the road in the U.S. in March. "Hold On" is the first focus track from their debut, Boys and Girls, coming in April.

Originally formed in San Diego, Delta Spirit now call Long Beach home and the first single from their new album is appropriately called "California." The new project was recorded at Dreamland in Woodstock, NY, in a converted 1896 church. They experimented both sonically and structurally with their new material. Their self-title new album – produced by Chris Coady --- is due March 13th and the band starts an extensive tour shortly thereafter beginning at SXSW.
