"Right Down the Line" is Bonnie Raitt's take on a Gerry Rafferty song, one of two singles from Slipstream, her sixteenth studio album, which Redwing Records released on April 10, 2012. She produced and arranged it, sings it and plays slide guitar, with George Marinelli on electric guitar, Mike Finnigan on Hammond organ and clavinet, James Hutchinson on bass, Ricky Fataar on drums and timbales, and Luis Conte on percussion; Marinelli and Maia Sharp sing backup, and Ryan Freeland recorded and mixed.
Both singles made the US Triple A chart, and Slipstream did handsomely: number 6 on the Billboard 200, top of the blues, rock and independent album charts, and the Grammy for Best Americana Album in 2013. Entertainment Weekly's Ken Tucker called it her best album since Home Plate in 1975.
