"Love Me Like a Man" comes from Give It Up, Bonnie Raitt's second album, which Warner Bros. released in 1972. Chris Smither wrote the music and shares the lyric credit with Raitt, who sings it and plays acoustic guitar, with Freebo on fretless bass and Dennis Whitted on drums.
Raitt made the record at Bearsville Studios with producer Michael Cuscuna; Kendall Pacios recorded the track and engineered it with Nick Jameson. Give It Up roams across folk, blues, R&B and soft rock, from tender ballads to quick-stepping folk-rock, and its songs keep circling back to womanhood, love affairs and a woman getting comfortable in her own skin.
