Karla and Nina Gerber cover one of Karla's favorite Jackson Browne tunes, "Something Fine," as part of a live show recorded last Fall at My Father's Place in Roslyn, NY. Karla and Jackson have a long history touring together in the early stages of their careers. Karla originally recorded "Something Fine." for A Tribute to Jackson Browne, a two-CD compilation with many of the very best of this country's singer-songwriters. Her friend and Bryndle bandmate, Wendy Waldman, produced the track. It's now become a staple of Karla's live show and one of the rare cover songs she performs. Most importantly, the song is included as part of Karla's new CD, Carry Me Home, with autographed copies available on Karla's website www.karlabonoff.com. Karla's new songbook, complete with 23 of her biggest songs, is also available on her website.

I can’t think of anything more beautiful than the simplicity of a great song, a single guitar played masterfully and an exquisitely beautiful voice. This is that perfect combination

[@jdwilkins2000]

Does it get any better than Karla Bonoff's vocals, Nina Gerber's acoustic guitar, performing one of Jackson Browne's best songs? Really a world class rendition!

[@barbarabaldwin7120]

beautiful

[@58landman]

My Lord, that was lovely. These ladies have it all and we are so fortunate to be able to listen and watch as they perform. And Nina's guitar arrangement of that piece deserves an encore, perfectly performed.

[@lisagriffistasse]

Wow what a wonderful surprise! Another great Nina & Karla performance. So much needed during these tough times with Covid-19 & unrest in our country. Please keep posting songs! 😃

2024--STILL 'UNREST' AND NEEDEDOXOXOXXO

[@pls2028]

Stunning, stunning playing by Nina Gerber. I’m rarely at a loss for words (ask any of my friends), but stunning just about hits it. Nina, you are such an incredible musician. It brings me such joy to listen to you and Karla together!!!

[@jeffbilby9415]

This early Jackson Browne tune is a perfect vehicle for Karla's voice, nails it and the tasteful guitar from Nina, great on the tribute compilation but this recording, Karla just owns this take, still amazed at her voice as she gets older, it continues to shine a light in these dark days, thanks to you both for sharing your talents!

[@alanmilne1070]

And suddenly the world seems beautiful again, even if it just for the five minutes and eight seconds of this song

[@randynorman742]

Wow! I’ve never heard a take on that .. like that ❤️. That guitar arraignment is incredible

[@rodhowellnetwork28]

I love Karla's voice. Have done for years. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

[@EmilyLinge]

This is so amazingly beautiful!

[@laurahewett3470]

Total perfection, Karla.

[@craignewman4608]

How could this be better? Karla Bonhoff, Nina Gerber and Jackson Browne. Thank you .

[@williamgarvy1393]

Thank you, Karla & Nina, exquisite. . .

[@charlotteellington8613]

Thank you!!!!!! Perfect tune for this afternoon.

[@lenmusgrove5160]

Love this one. Thank you for sharing, Karla and Nina!

[@jimfirebaugh2197]

Such beautiful touch on that guitar.

[@vincemcgeehan4555]

I have loved Karla for over 40 years….perfect voice….

[@stubbsd]

A wonderful, most unexpected treat to be savoured this Friday afternoon in Montreal. Karla’s Five-Minute Concert Tour was too good to end after five songs. I floated the idea of an encore or two, or more, as did others. This addition to the tour is Something Fine indeed :) As long as you keep singing, Karla, and as long as Nina is by your side, I’ll be here to listen and enjoy. As will many of us.

[@marymuller1062]

Dave Stubbs Hi David, you seem to know what goes on in here, so I have a question. I completely missed this 5 minute concert, how was anyone notified . I am actually one of the people who suggested more five minute concerts. Thanks. Mary

[@stubbsd]

@@marymuller1062 Yes, Mary, indeed you were among those who requested that Karla extend her tour! Have you signed up for Karla's email notifications? If you subscribe to her KZbin channel, you'll see "Subscribed" to the right of her name. Click on the bell and set it to All. Any time a new video is uploaded to her site, you'll get a notification. Hope that helps, take care.

[@marymuller1062]

Dave Stubbs Thanks Dave, done. Somehow I thought I had done that. I have been listening to some Karen Carpenter during quarantine . May I ask if you have an opinion? While Karla’s music can easily bring me to tears for many reasons, listening to Karen can have the same effect....because she is gone.😢 There will never be another voice like Karen’s. Her story, her struggle with anorexia just makes me so sad. Such a beautiful soul....a beautiful voice, really gifted. I wonder if she ever realized how much the world loved her.

[@stubbsd]

Mary Muller Karen had an incredible gift, Mary. I love the Carpenters especially on vinyl. The richness and subtlety and nuance of Karen’s voice is so much better on that medium than compressed by digital transfer. There are many female artists who qualify as favourites for me - Diana Krall, Joan Osborne, Jennifer Warnes, Katie Melua and Storm Large among them; others, too. But Karla is atop the list to be sure. My path on business travel brought me close to her several times in recent years but I just missed her shows. It’s now a mission to see Karla live.

[@marymuller1062]

Dave Stubbs I was fortunate enough to meet her after a concert here in the Boston area. Standing in front of Karla Bonoff, after just adoring her for 40 years, was absolute magic. I could barely find words to express myself. When she looks at you with those beautiful brown eyes you feel as though she is seeing into your soul. After 40 years, not only does she sound perfect, but she is really more stunning than ever. Killer smile, which I wish she would share a bit more. This virus has pushed her concert at TCAN in Natick, MA (to which I have tickets) back twice now. Her July 25th appearance has been rescheduled to May of 2021 😩. It is killing me that various concerts have been rescheduled....but I want everyone to stay safe and well. My other favorite artists are Nanci Griffith, Suzy Bogguss and Kathy Mattea. Nice chatting with you. Stay well. Happy trails!

[@noradean8686]

Pure talent,music and voice, unfortunately its rare these days, 😢

[@reggiekenner1527]

What a treat to stumble upon this video. One of my favorite singers and my absolute favorite guitarist, Nina Gerber (who makes any song she plays on better). Heavenly

[@hethinkshesfunny]

Been listening to Karla for so, so long. What a beautiful person with an incredible voice. Nina is perfection on the strings. Thank you as the water slides down my cheeks.

[@mocchi905]

Thanks Karla! I Love it.

[@downeastxg]

Heard you sing and Nina play this a few years ago... wow, still 'Something Fine.'

[@thoughtsoneverything5519]

Beautiful ❤️. I find your voice so calming and comforting. As a voice instructor, I am happy to"introduce" my students to all of your performances. Your singing comes from the heart, and to me, that is the most important part of singing. Thank you for sharing your ❤️.

[@donovanstales]

Lovely, simply lovely! You both have such passion. Thank you Nina & Karla for sharing your lives with us during these craziest of times!

[@stephen25uk]

Just found this, the best rendition of that wonderful song by Jackson Browne. Perfect,.

[@williamcoady]

Great song, great singer great guitar player, makes z great video

[@jszisson]

Nina Gerber is more than exceptional.

[@gregwelch8205]

Wow ! Thank you both Karla and Nina , you two made my Friday whole , soulful ,and complete .....awesome ! Warm thoughts and prayers from Tucson ...Love always

[@egbun]

Saw Jackson in concert in the early '70s, and the lead-in act was… Karla Bonoff. Nostalgic to see her doing his work after all these years. One of Jackson's best songs, so beautifully covered here.

[@stephenmorris7824]

What in the world? "Thin" vocals? Really? Compared to what, the guttersl groanings of grunge? My god, Karla's voice is as crystal clear as it was at open-mike night at the Troubador when she was 17.

[@billjacobson5997]

Something so fine for this day. Truly beautiful, Thank You Karla and Nina.

[@glassncobalt]

Wow, exquisite.

[@enriquegardunocuriel9781]

Beautiful song performed by a fantastic couple of artists: Karla Bonoff and Nina Gerber. I'm glad that Nina is still around after Kate Wolf passing, back in 1986.

[@johnwhite6312]

Simply stunning.

[@lisasilks5523]

Absolutely beautiful. Does Jackson proud.

[@jogman262]

Very nice! Thank you!

[@hotajax]

I heard this live. It was ethereal. Karla has more class in her pinky than most people in their entire body

[@greg2598]

So incredibly down to earth while simultaneously being out of this world.

[@CountryRock2U]

Thanks Karla and JB Beautiful!

[@johnwhite6312]

What guitar tuning is that??? It is GORGEOUS!

[@johnpegg6771]

Well. Just a fabulous take on one of my favourite JB songs. Someone from a land in a mist so cold and so clean.......................... The UK.

[@MrButtonpresser]

Lovely!

[@dbdigital57]

Saw KB and Nina in Dallas several years ago and planned to attend 2020 show, but alas CovID-19. Thanks for the videos

[@59skupe]

Beautiful as always!

[@marcusmexia9704]

Jeez! This was absolutely Beautiful. I truly needed Something Fine right now, today, in this current not so fine time.

[@davesteer8007]

The best voice ever!

[@ChristineLinge]

Fantastic!

[@mramagic5269]

Beautiful!!

[@susanblack-smith4402]

Love this! Thanks Karla, for making Friday afternoon so fine!

[@waynetucker7257]

Karla's voice brings me solace. Love from Cincinnati 'til we meet again.

[@davidgraupner7006]

Thanks! I needed this today.

[@triciajohnson444]

Simply priceless!!

[@baliscotsurf]

in 1975 I was on Kauai. I was 21 and my friend heard this by JB. He was so taken he talked me n my frnd into going to Morocco . He had just come into some money. We wld sit after a surf and plan out trip. WE all got passports and the time came. By now it was 1976 and I was to meet them in LA and go from there but...I lost my passport and they went w/o me. I was bummed till I got a call from Phil's Dad That they got busted w something fine in Luxembourg. My one frnd ran n actually got away but Phil...not so lucky. He spent the better part of his 20's in prison in France. Funny how things work out. I went back to Hanalei and tried to forget but every time a bowl of hash was passed around..which was often back then n there. I wld think of him.

[@roberttosa2560]

Great cover. One of his best songs. So emotional.

[@BobWadeGuitar]

Fine pickin', Nina

[@lawood1441]

Gorgeous ❤

[@drlarcey]

Not to be a critic but those vocals are a bit thin but it's a wonderful rendition nice job

[@ramassist2]

If you would please do a quick edit and delete the first 13 words your comment would not be thin but blessed and respectfully, lovingly kind.
