Bonnie Raitt is releasing a new album in 2012, her first in seven years. \"Slipstream,\" out April 10, follows a long break from studio work for the Grammy-winning Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member. She lost her parents, her brother and her best friend. \"I hadn\'t stopped moving in a very long time, so I really wanted to take a total break and not concentrate on making a new record or what I was going to do next,\" Raitt said. \"So that was really valuable because I waited until I was really ready to come back.\" \"Slipstream\" is the 62-year-old\'s first album since 2005\'s \"Souls Alike\" and will be the first release on her own record label, Redwing Records. The 12-track album will feature four songs recorded with producer Joe Henry and his musicians, which she describes as experimental. The remainder is self-produced with her touring band. She says she\'s thrilled with the resulting eclectic mix of blues, rock and soul that even includes a dash of reggae and Celtic sounds. She covers Bob Dylan\'s \"Million Miles\" and \"Standing in the Doorway,\" and Loudon Wainwright III\'s \"You Can\'t Fail Me Now\" as well.
