Bonnie Raitt wrote "The Road's My Middle Name" herself, words and music, for Nick of Time, the tenth studio album she put out on March 21, 1989. It was her first record for Capitol and the commercial breakthrough that followed years of personal and professional struggle.
Don Was produced it and Ed Cherney recorded and mixed, around a lean, bar-band lineup: Raitt singing and playing guitar, Kim Wilson on harmonica, Preston Hubbard on bass and Fran Christina on drums, with Sweet Pea Atkinson, Harry Bowens and Arnold McCuller filling out the backing vocals. The album went on to top the Billboard 200 and win Album of the Year for Raitt and Was, and this is the small, sturdy band sound underneath that success.
