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.

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.

Karla was also in a group called Bryndle with Andrew Gold, Kenny Edwards and Wendy Waldman.  They did a couple of albums.

I really like Wendy Waldman also.

tomcy6, I have much of Kathy's music; a number of years ago she was playing two shows at a small (330 seat) venue near me, I went to one of them and found her even better live than I had anticipated.
