Like her performances, the instrumentation is clean and spare, giving Bonoff’s voice room to work its emotional magic on the listener."A Little Bit of Love (Goes a Long, Long Way)" Many fans and critics prefer Bonoff’s own renditions of her songs, and they won’t be disappointed here. Karla Bonoff Live is a superb two-CD set containing 21 songs, including some of Bonoff’s most popular material (“All My Life,” “Someone to Lay Down Beside Me,” “Tell Me Why,” and “Lose Again”) plus two new compositions. In 2007, nearly 40 years into her writing, recording and performing, the singularly gifted singer/songwriter had at last produced a live album. And hearing them live can be transformative. Karla’s moving vocals on her rich, expressive songs is like standing beneath a sparkling waterfall - refreshing, exhilarating, restorative. All the while, she has continued to tour extensively, playing sold-out shows around the world. Many of Bonoff’s ballads are now pop classics. In addition to achieving chart success with her own recordings, Karla has seen her songs become hits for such stellar artists as Bonnie Raitt, Wynonna Judd and Linda Ronstadt. With a career spanning four decades, Bonoff has enjoyed critical acclaim, commercial success, enduring popularity and the unwavering respect of her peers. And in her case, that description is not hyperbole. Karla Bonoff has been described as one of the finest singer/songwriters of her generation.
