RIGHT PLACE, RAITT TIME

Bonnie Raitt on her new guitar sideman

“In the beginning, we had George Marinelli and Duke Levine together at rehearsals,” Bonnie tells us from California, “so Duke was able to watch and listen to the various guitar parts that George contributes to songs like Need You Tonight and Livin’ For The Ones, and the different songs that we cover. George often overdubs two or three parts – and it’s the same with keyboards, as there’s often three or four keyboards parts. So when you perform live and you only have a four-piece band, you have to figure out which parts you’re going to take.
