Karla Bonoff

If you like Karla check out "Pretty Bird" by Kathy Mattea.  Yes she was a pop-country singer from the 90s but that's not what this album is.  This album is mostly acoustic with uncluttered arrangements and Kathy's warm voice.  Musicians include Viktor Krauss and Tim O'Brien.  It's a nice quiet album and streaming it doesn't cost anything.

Karla was also in a group called Bryndle with Andrew Gold, Kenny Edwards and Wendy Waldman.  They did a couple of albums.

I really like Wendy Waldman also.

tomcy6, I have much of Kathy's music; a number of years ago she was playing two shows at a small (330 seat) venue near me, I went to one of them and found her even better live than I had anticipated.  

rpeluso,  She does have beautiful voice and I would go to see her if she came to a small venue here.  I primarily like her albums after her career slowed down a little, "Calling Me Home", "Coal" and "Pretty Bird".  I'm sure she's got good stuff on any of her albums though.

tomcy6, we clearly share tastes; I love Coal, and Pretty Bird.  I, again, was so surprised with just how fantastic she was live.  Long ago I lived in Nashville, a friend of mine was a struggling song writer then (became very very successful), and there was a benefit for a local songwriter/artist, my friend allowed me to go along with him, and there was a silent auction.  I managed to get a Statler Brothers signed LP, and Kathy was there, working the "register", and I have the receipt with her name on it.  This was sometime between 1980 and 1983.
