Bonnie Bramlett - Piece of My Heart: The Best Of Bonnie Bramlett
1969-1978
24 Nov 2008
Raven presents for the first time on CD, a definitive, 19-track
compilation covering the career of one of rock music’s most respected
female vocalists BONNIE BRAMLETT. Culled from nine albums, recorded
for Stax, Elektra, ATCO, Columbia, Capricorn, Piece of My Heart
1969-1978 features outstanding music and stunning vocal performances.
With superb quality audio, colour booklet and detailed liner notes.
Bonnie first came to prominence as an Ikette before she teamed up with
former Shindogs member Delaney Bramlett in the influential and highly
regarded Delaney & Bonnie and Friends. Delaney & Bonnie created some
of the most distinctive and exciting music of the early ‘70s, equal
parts blue-eyed soul, blues, country and gospel-All Music Guide. Her
sophisticated and confident vocals are heard on their best known songs
‘Piece of My Heart’, ‘Groupie (Superstar)’ and a hit cover of Dave
Mason’s ‘Only You Know and I Know’.
After recording her solo debut Sweet Bonnie Bramlett (‘Able, Qualified
and Ready’) she signed to the prestigious Capricorn imprint where
producer Johnny Sandlin indulged her love of R&B, soul and gospel with
the recording of two earthy and dynamic albums, It’s Time (‘Oncoming
Traffic’) and Lady’s Choice (‘Forever Young’), cut with players from
Macon, Georgia and Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Her third Capricorn album
Memories yielded her passionate cover of Steve Winwood’s ‘Can’t Find
My Way Home’. This collection features contributions from Duane
Allman, Chuck Leavell, Gregg Allman, Eddie Hinton, Paul Hornsby, Barry
Beckett, David Hood, Roger Hawkins, Ricky Hirsch, Lowell George, the
Muscle Shoals Horn Section and the Average White Band (who backed her
on Sweet Bonnie Bramlett).
