During her nearly 40-year career, Bonoff has enjoyed critical acclaim, commercial success, enduring popularity and the unwavering respect of her peers. In addition to achieving chart success with her own recordings, Karla has seen her songs become hits for such stellar artists as Bonnie Raitt, Wynonna Judd and Linda Ronstadt. Many of Bonoff's ballads are now pop classics. But in all those years of writing, recording and performing, the singularly gifted singer/songwriter has never produced a live album...until now.

Karla Bonoff Live, in stores October 9, 2007, is a two-CD set containing 21 songs, including some of Bonoff's most popular material ("All My Life," "Someone to Lay Down Beside Me," "Tell Me Why," and "Lose Again") plus two new compositions. Many fans and critics prefer Bonoff's own renditions of her songs, and they won't be disappointed here. Like her performances, the instrumentation is clean and spare, giving Bonoff's voice room to work its emotional magic on the listener. Live is Bonoff's first solo album since 1999, when she released a 16-song greatest hits collection, All My Life: The Best of Karla Bonoff (Columbia/Legacy) .

Throughout her career, Bonoff has continued to tour extensively, playing sold-out shows around the world. With her regular touring band, including longtime friend and collaborator Kenny Edwards and noted guitarist Nina Gerber, Bonoff's moving vocals on her rich, expressive songs is like standing beneath a sparkling waterfall--refreshing, exhilarating, restorative. And hearing them live can be transformative.
