Bonnie Raitt reached back to Barbara George for "I Know" on Give It Up, her 1972 album; George wrote it and scored a hit with it in 1961. Raitt's take, produced by Michael Cuscuna, is a crowded, happy room of a record: she sings lead and plays steel guitar, T.J. Tindall adds electric guitar, Freebo plays fretless bass, Mark T. Jordan splits his time between piano and vibraphone, Peter Eckland blows cornet, and Wells Kelly covers drums, congas and cowbell.
The backing vocals are a crowd too, with Freebo, Kelly, John Hall and Jackie Lomax pitching in alongside Raitt herself, and Nick Jameson and Kendall Pacios engineered the session.
