Free Music Notes for Give It Up Album
Free Music Review: Classic blues-rock album
Hit: 5 Stars
Bonnie's first love is the blues but her music incorporates other influences including pop, folk and R+B. With three self-penned songs (Give it up, Nothing seems to matter, You told me baby) and seven other songs from diverse sources, this is one of Bonnie's finest albums, showing how she has pulled those different musical styles together.
The covers include the R+B classics I know (Barbara George) and If you gotta make a fool of somebody (originally recorded by James Ray, it became a major UK hit for Freddie and the dreamers, though I suspect that it was James Ray's version that inspired Bonnie's outstanding cover). Other great covers include Love has no pride (an Eric Kaz song that I first discovered on Linda Ronstadt's album, Don't cry now) and Under the falling sky (Jackson Browne).
This album, along with Bonnie's other early albums, did not receive the attention it deserved at the time, but as her reputation has grown, more people are learning just how good Bonnie's music really is - all of it, but especially those early albums.
