    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!

    That sounded great! I still have my Karla Bonoff vinyl records from the late 70's and 80's. I wore them out a bit because I played them so much while I was studying in college. This kind of music just doesn't get old.

    Karla, I am ashamed to say I haven’t encountered you previously and I’ve been listening to a large array of music since my childhood in the 1960s (following my older brother’s tastes and album collection). Awesome voice, beautiful sounding guitars, harmonies and one of my favorite traditional songs. Thank you 🙏

    • @sandrafloyd2152
      @sandrafloyd2152 6 месяцев назад +1

      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.

    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 🙂
