"Songs of soul-searching, heartache and joy."
Billboard
"Devoted
fans traveled great distances to hear Karla. Her play list is a
heartfelt litany of one hit after another. The audience fell in
love with her music all over again. Superb harmonies/accompaniment
from Kenny Edwards. Highly recommend!"
Lebanon Opera House
Karla Bonoff has been
described as one of the finest singer/songwriters of her generation.
And in her case, that description is not hyperbole.
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.

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.
