Jill Riley from The Current dropped by to share her weekly Minnesota music update with host Cathy Wurzer.

First up: This month marks the 50th anniversary of Bonnie Raitt’s self-titled debut album, which was recorded at an empty summer camp on Enchanted Island in the Lake Minnetonka area. Check out this track-by-track breakdown of the album from The Current.

Plus: Mason Jennings is back. He’s got a new album called “Real Heart” on the way next year, and he’s embarking on a short tour this month, including a stop at Sacred Heart Music Center in Duluth, an old church that’s been converted into a music venue.
