A performance that lasts
First off, I think that Bonnie has an obvious and also an inner beauty. Just to get that out of the way.
Noticed her in the '70's, and then in the '90's heard her mentioned by Paul Brady (Irish singer/songwriter). If he thinks she's good, it's time I looked again. Caught and taped this from VH1. And the TV version was good for years. One of my bucks bought the DVD as a Christmas present, and I was off into extra tracks and improved audio (still stereo, no electronic trickery, of course).
As Don Was said first, this could be the best live group I've heard too. Their playing is impeccable throughout - all of them. Also they've been around, and are often reference players in their own right (Ricky Fataar - Pearl Drums), so play with Bonnie by pure choice. Bit like one of Paul Brady's core backing group said in an excellent series "SongBook" (by RTE) - "I wish I could write songs like these, but the next best thing is playing them".
Bonnie's voice has a quality and catch in it that is totally mesmerising. "If I can't make you love me" - try that one, and I bet it'll catch you in the throat!.
And her guests. Bruce Hornsby is enough for me.
Watch out for :- Shake a little, Nothing' a fool won't get used to, Have a heart, Louise, Dimming of the day. Just my high points.
Been listening to this for a good 12 years, and it just gets better. Usually my taste is rockier and heavier, but you just can't ignore quality when you hear it.
