Karla Bonoff

Greetings,

I, like many here, watched and loved the Linda Ronstadt documentary; in that film there were brief interview pieces with Karla Bonoff, and those caused me to search a bit (I have one or two recordings of hers), and discovered she made a new recording in 2018 titled Carry Me Home.  I ordered copy from her, it came yesterday (I was away), am playing it here this morning, and its just wonderful.  Great songs, sparse production (piano, guitar, occasionally bass, mandolin) and, to my ears, great sound.  Highly worth a listen.

Agree. Karla is a really good singer/songwriter who plays the piano rather than the more common guitar. "Carry Me Home" is a great studio recording of new and old material, much of which can also be found on, "Live", which was recorded live, oddly enough.

I recommend giving both a listen.

One of my favorite albums is "Restless Nights".  I've been a Karla Bonoff fan for a very long time.

If you like Karla check out "Pretty Bird" by Kathy Mattea.  Yes she was a pop-country singer from the 90s but that's not what this album is.  This album is mostly acoustic with uncluttered arrangements and Kathy's warm voice.  Musicians include Viktor Krauss and Tim O'Brien.  It's a nice quiet album and streaming it doesn't cost anything.
