Karla Bonoff on Living On Music

While American singer-songwriter Karla Bonoff has released a number of excellent albums and performed often as a solo artist, she is also well-known for her outstanding songwriting, Bonoff's songs include "Home," covered by Bonnie Raitt, "Tell Me Why" by Wynonna Judd, and "Isn't It Always Love" by Lynn Anderson. Most notably, Linda Ronstadt recorded several Bonoff songs, including three tracks on the 1976 album Hasten Down the Wind ("Someone To Lay Down Beside Me", "Lose Again" and "If He's Ever Near"), which introduced Bonoff to a mass audience, and Bonoff's song "All My Life", a 1989 duet with Ronstadt and Aaron Neville, won a Grammy. Throughout the years, Karla has continued to do what she does best. She's toured with Bonnie Raitt, John Prine, J.D. Souther and others, building up a passionate audience, resulting in sold-out houses everywhere. Karla continues to perform all over America, and often after her concerts, Karla talks with fans and signs CDs and well-worn LP covers people bring to her shows. Japan has also been very supportive of Karla's music and she's toured there twice in recent years. She begins a Home For The Holidays run with Livingston Taylor starting Dec 4 in Kent Ohio, and will be playing Dec 11th at The Birchmere.
