Recorded shortly after two years of intense touring, Dig in Deep captures the blues rock icon in peak form. On the politically charged rocker “The Comin’ Round Is Going Through”, the only thing sharper than Raitt’s tongue is her slide playing. Channelling their inner Little Feat, the band members show off their funky chops on a sensuously percussive rendition of INXS’ “Need You Tonight”. Certainly no stranger to singer/songwriter fare, Raitt takes her place at the piano for set closer “The Ones We Couldn’t Be”, one of the most emotionally naked tunes of her storied career.
