Combining the talents and beloved catalogs of the legendary singer/songwriters promises to be a treat for music lovers.

Taylor’s contributions to our culture have been celebrated with a number of accolades in recent years including receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, in 2015 and the Kennedy Center Honors in December. He released Before This World in 2015 –his 17th full length effort and his first album of new material in 13 years.

Ten-time Grammy winner Raitt released her 17th full-length studio album, Dig in Deep, to critical acclaim last year. Both artists are members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
