I would trade every technology and trick in a recording studio for the pure, brilliant musicianship that’s offered here. A timeless classic, three sweet guitars and heavenly harmony. Nothing better. Nothing. Karla, Livingston and Sean… thank you.

I saw Karla play a small venue in Kansas City in 1983. I had all her albums and they had been a great help in getting through a very difficult stretch. The concert was amazing - everything I had hoped it would be. Her voice is as pure and sweet as ever!

I found her back in the 70's when the "country rock" or "West Coast country" theme was popular in the South. I heard off her first album, as I recall, the song "I Can't Hold" on the radio and I was hooked. A great artist in all respects. Stellar backup here in this video with Livingston and Sean. So glad I came across this. Sometimes algorithms do work 🙂

Love you,Karla… ever since the “Karla Bonoff” and “Restless Nights” albums were released (and through every album since). You have written some truly beautiful music over the years, along with sincere and touching lyrics. To this day, you are one of my favorites and I feel truly blessed to have found you and your music, an integral part of the musical journey throughout my Life. I am your forever fan. Be well and may you always be blessed.❤

I found this last night. I had heard the name Karta Bonhoff, probably she's been mentioned in scads of music docs. A revelation to me. Then I spent a few rabbit hole hours listening to her albums. More revelation. Then I thought, wow, her immediate voice, the here and now, everyday poetry of love, lovers, finding the one, broken hearts, etc, and I thought, wow, she, Lara Nyro, and Janis Ian were Taylor Swift before there was one. Why didn't any of those women reach the heights TS has? Their songs were easily as good. Their musicianship just as good, their bands, etc ,all as good. so why aren't any of them huge? Was it the times? Was it the rise of feminism in the 90s and 2000s?

Awesome voice, beautiful sounding guitars, harmonies and one of my favorite traditional songs. Thank you 🙏

@sandrafloyd2152 4 ай бұрын

Her first album "Karla Bonoff" is a classic & many songs are acoustic guitar. She also plays the piano. I fashioned my own songwriting in her style with less is more & great harmony singing on some (some of the same guys that played with Linda Ronstadt in the 70's. Karla started out writing songs for others & doing background vocals than she did her 1st self-titled album). Amazon has got an even better deal with that album & 2 other albums (Restless Nights-Wild Heart of the Young) where you'll find "The Water is Wide" song. All 3 for only $16.99.

Where are the sweetness of yesterdays? Do the the young or these days know where they're heading for when blessings of time have slowly been gone . Old songs leave marks like scars as we witness these changes of today's fearful advancements , scorching us to wilt down like grasses without Thier place to grow no more , if only we could try once more to feel once again the morning dews that gives us the breath of wellness , but it's all gone ,but , fire that's now burning on and on

I play guitar but 10 days ago had surgery on my left hand in two places. I am praying that with healing and OT I will once again be able to play. I think this will be one of the songs I finally learn. Continued blessings and music. 🎶🙏💕
