Label: Blue Elan Records
Release type:  White Vinyl LP Release

Limited white vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. 2018 release from the veteran singer/songwriter. After ten years during which she bore witness to some of her life’s greatest joys and deepest sorrows – and the publication of her acclaimed 2015 memoir, Detla Lady – Rita Coolidge is back with Safe in the Arms of Time, her 18th solo album and a reaffirmation of her indomitable spirit and unquenchable creative thirst. Safe in the Arms of Time is colored by Rita’s pivotal role in the Los Angeles singer-songwriter scene of the 1970s, where she made her bones as a top backup singer – that’s Rita on the refrains of Stephen Stills’s Love the One You’re With and Eric Clapton’s After Midnight – before embarking on a platinum-selling solo career. The idea was making an album that had the same appeal of my early records – to make a roots record about my own roots, Rita says. Rita and producer Ross Hogarth gathered an all-star lineup of the era’s top musicians – guitarist Dave Grissom, bassist Bob Glaub, John J.T. Thomas on keyboards and drummer Brian MacLeod – at L.A.’s Sunset Sound Recorders, the famed recording studio where Rita recorded her first solo albums. The album includes a duet with Keb’ Mo’. Three songs were co-written by Rita Coolidge. Other songwriting contributions include Keb’ Mo’, Graham Nash and Chris Stapleton.
