Beautiful voice...always liked her music, even when my fave Linda Ronstadt covered some of Karla's songs. Also the late, great Kenny Edwards on bass is an added treat.
amazing performances by all--what wonderful tunes, they hold up like diamonds, and the stellar crew of fellow musicians is just rich with beautiful moments. Kudos to all.
It seems I always screw up too when trying to entertain, but she came through like a champ. I love Karla, as she's just out there as herself, never being pretentious.
I agree that her first album was a true classic, though I have to thank Linda Ronstadt's "Hasten Down the wind album" for promoting three of the outstanding songs. Karla certainly in the UK was never recognised for the talent she is. As a result, I find her albums hard to replace from vinyls to CDs owing to lack of distribution. Tk
There are those of us who listened to Hasten Down the Wind AFTER wearing out Karla Bonoff's debut....... Actually, I STILL don't own Hasten Down the Wind......Have multiple Karla LPs
Does anyone know the name of the song that started out with the line, "Like a bird she was wounded......" It was my favorite song back in the day, but can't for the life of me remember the name.
well Karla...you've not lost two ticket buyers. Love your music, no doubt of your talent. But when you allow your fans, to be subjected to political rhetoric at the expense of those audience members who have different political views, you have crossed the line. I bought tickets for entertainment, not to be insulted. No, my not coming to see you anymore will have a dent in your income...that's not my point here. I just won't put out the effort and money to be subjected your callous treatment.
syn707 Good points. Never saw Karla live, never heard her rant, so I guess I'll skip that now. She certainly doesn't look content. Love Karla's music, truly, but wouldn't mind seeing her driven from the stage like the arrogant Linda Ronstadt (driven from the Vegas stage, at least,-''bye, Linda!"), of whom I also have at least several albums from back in the day. Don't these stars from the '70s have paid servants they can lecture? Okay. So have conserts in Japan, Karla, as long as you are able. But you're lookin' pretty weary.
I don’t understand why these performers can’t get on stage and perform instead of preaching their liberal rants. We know most of them are liberals and I can live with that but as said above, I’m not going to a concert to hear liberal rants and be insulted. I can stay home and turn on CNN and get that for free.
