Free Music Notes for Karla Bonoff Live
Free Music Review: Bonoff Scores with Being Original
Hit: 5 Stars
My first experience with Karla Bonoff's music was in 1980 when she opened for Jackson Browne at a show in Albuquerque. Although many of us went to hear Jackson, David Lindley, Russ Kunkel, Leland Sklar and the rest play Browne's great original songs, Karla really stole the show that night. Even Jackson remarked that she was an amazing song writing talent and performer. He was right then and I'm right now saying, that in terms of original music that touches your soul, she ranks with Joni Mitchell and Emmylou Harris. LIVE masterfully showcases some of Karla's best ballads with great backup musicians (including Kenny Edwards and the incomparable guitar work of Nina Gerber). This is a MUST HAVE CD for anyone smart enough to want to both hear and listen to a ballad music master with a soft but firm mellow voice that you will never forget.Free Music Review: Karla Bonoff is one of the Greatest Singer/Songwriters of My Generations

Since the 70's, I have loved Karla Bonoff. I saw her open for someone I can't even remember now, I was so taken by her voice. Then I found out she wrote her own songs, which to me is a sign of a great artist. Later when I was stationed in Korea and Turkey (in my military career) her songs helped me thru bouts of loneliness from being a apart from my wife and family for years. Her songs like Home, Falling Star, Wild Heart of the Young and my all time favorite, The Water is Wide are just a few of her songs that are filled with emotion and give you peace. Plus, an artist that can sound so good live, again the mark a great artist. This album is wonderful. I don't know how artists like Karla Bonoff and Jackson Browne continue to sing/write/sound better and better. You may have all these songs, but live is great and you need this album!Free Music Review: Quietly Perfect!

KARLA BONOFF LIVE is a time capsule of 30 years worth of solo material (only four albums!) and two songs from Karla's three cd's with her group Bryndle. The good news is that it's 1977 all over again-"I Can't Hold On", "If He's Ever Near", and "Home" are just as genuine now as they were then. Karla's teardrop style piano complements Nina Gerber's flowing guitar for a quietly intimate performance. Subtle flourishes are provided by original Stone Poney Kenny Edwards. The surprises here are an up-tempo "Please Be The One" and a sparkling new song, "What About Joanne". LIVE is a warm journey through the past with hints of great things yet to come.Free Music Review: Excellent Live Recording
Hit: 5 Stars
I've been a fan of Ms. Bonoff since the beginning and I also prefer live recordings to studio versions, so this was a no-brainer for me. I am grateful that she came out with this because the results are first rate. The production is very clear and the band sounds excellent, although I would have loved it even more with Andrew Gold present. After all these years, Karla's lovely voice and touching songs remain the gold standard of beautifully crafted music. Kenny Edwards provides the usual tasteful and perfect backup. Highly recommended.Free Music Review: Still Great
Hit: 5 Stars
Like other reviewers, have followed Karla and her musicians since the beginning, certainly the first release in the '70's. Karla's autographed my albums, cassettes and CDs! Guess you could say I'm a fan forever. Have attended multiple shows and look forward to the next ones!
What an artist! We've fortunate to have her in 'our time'.
