Karla Bonoff

"I Never Really Was a Bad Girl, 
          But You Got Me in Trouble Again"

Karla Bonoff has been described as on of the finest singer/songwriters of her generation. And in her case, that is not hyperbole. Billboard Magazine puts it best: "Long before Alanis and Jewel, there was a breed of singer/songwriters whose earthly anthems of soul-searching, heartache and joy touched souls in a way few can muster today."

With a career spanning four decades, 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. All the while, she has continued to tour extensively, playing sold-out shows around the world. Karla's moving vocals on her rich, expressive songs is refreshing, exhilarating, restorative. And hearing them live can be transformative.

In 2007, nearly 40 years into her writing, recording and performing, Karla at last produced a live album. "KARLA BONOFF LIVE" is a superb two-CD set containing 21 songs, including some of Bonoff's most popular material ("All My Live," "Someone to Lay Down Beside Me," "Tell Me Why, " and "Lose Again") plus two brand-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 Karla's voice room to work it's emotional magic on the listener.
