Rita Wilson with the Nashville Symphony

Over the course of four albums, live performances around the globe, and collaborations with notable and beloved artists, Rita Wilson has proven to be a powerful musical force.

With her ambitious new album Rita Wilson Now & Forever: Duets, Rita solidifies her place in today’s musical landscape. Co-produced by Rita and GRAMMY Award-winning producer Matt Rollings, the album sees Wilson return to exploring her gift as an interpretive singer, as she revisits the songs that made her fall in love with music. A collection of classic, timeless songs from the Seventies, arranged as duets featuring Rita’s crystalline vocals alongside some of the greatest male singers of our time.

The selections are a set of true modern standards, including masterpieces like “Without You,” "Where is the Love,” “Let It Be Me” and “If.” Her partners on the project—including giants Willie Nelson, Jackson Browne, Josh Groban, Tim McGraw, Smokey Robinson, Elvis Costello, Keith Urban, Leslie Odom Jr, Vince Gill and Jimmie Allen, —illustrate the high regard in which Wilson is held by her peers.

For Wilson and her all-star colleagues, this collection is a tribute to the songs that made them discover music, and the melodies and stories that defined a generation. “I wanted to honor where I came from with songs from the Seventies,” she says. “It was really about showing enormous appreciation for the songwriting of that period—how these songs are still relevant even though they’re fifty years old.”
