ALBRECT, ROWLEY & MOORE
Starlighter
1978 |

THE
ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND
Enlightened
Rogues
1979 |
"Crazy Love" -
a duet from the honourary Allman Sister.
Bonnie toured with
the Brothers in 1979 and put in some powerful perforances
of this song, along with others such as "Midnight Rider"
and the climax to most shows, "Will The Circle Be Unbroken".
Sample the album here.

Anthology
Vol. II

ERIC
CLAPTON
Eric Clapton
1970 |
Delaney & Bonnie
and Friends, along with members of the The Crickets, provided
the backing for the whole of this, Eric's first solo outing.
Much criticised at the time, especially by those hankering
after guitar heroics, the album stands up very well today.
Delaney's influence on Eric's singing and the horn arrangements
is a big plus. A strong set, performed with energy and enthusiasm.
The deluxe 2CD
edition released in 2006 includes different mixes and bonus
tracks, including "She Rides", the original version
of "Let It Rain", which Bonnie co-wrote with Eric.

JOE COCKER
Stingray
1976 |
"Worrier" - a
slow, melodic duet, with Eric Clapton adding some tasteful
accompaniment on guitar.
Joe was in bad
shape during the most of the seventies but still managed to
deliver a series of excellent albums, including this one here.
Consistently working with top rate musicians, Joe's studio
work was often underrated because of erratic stage performances.

Comfort & Joy
2009 |
John Cowan's Christmas album incorporates country and other styles. "Bonnie Bramlett is someone I've listened to since I was very young, who helped form my identity as a musician and singer,'" Cowan says. "I loved rock, soul, gospel and acoustic music and that's what Delaney & Bonnie brought together so well. I was so into them. Now, to have her and her amazing daughter Bekka on record with me, that's a reward from this album that I will cherish forever. I think what they did on this album was magical."

As the Tonequest description has it, "Years ago when he was touring with Don Williams, Danny was stranded for a couple of days in a Tulsa motel room during a snowstorm, and while watching the Rockford Files, he wrote a song called "Tulsa Time" which was soon recorded by Eric Clapton. He's written a bunch of classic songs since, the boy sings his butt off and his guitar chops are reeeeeel good. "Forbidden Fruits and Vegetables" showcases Danny's rare talent with help from... James Pennebaker on guitar, Kevin McKendree on keys, Lynn Williams, drums, Stephen Mackey, bass and Bonnie Bramlett on vocals with a special appearance by Lee Roy Parnell. The guitar tones on this record are utter perfection, the songs rock (there ain't a throwaway among them), and the performances capture the very soul of American rock & roll. This CD is a treasure."

"Where's Eddie"
- solo track, a fine slow ballad tribute to the late singer,
songwriter and guitaist Eddie Hinton.
Recorded at the
beginning of 2004, this album also features strong individual
solo tracks by Tony Joe White, Donnie Fritts, George Soule
and Larry Jon Wilson, with support from the pick of Muscle
Shoals based (or related) session players. Good songs and
grooves from masters of their craft. Produced by Dan Penn.

for a short interview with Bonnie about this album and about
working with Eddie.

"Make Your Move"
- a lively solo track, so good they added a "revisited"
version at the end of the album!
Jamie Oldaker's
imaginative selection of artists with some kind of Tulsa connection
works a treat. The better known names don't dissappoint and
the others pleasantly surprise. Duane Allman once said there
were only two kinds of music. This comes in the "good"
category.

Sue, the most intact Tyrannosaurus Rex ever, and her 5th birthday
at The Field Museum, Chicago.

Bonnie kicks things off with “Last Night I Dreamed of New Orleans” - a lovely, lazy, swinging tale, in traditional Crescent City style.
The is album is a 100% volunteer project, with proceeds going to two home-building charities on the Gulf Coast. Bonnie is in fine company, with other tracks by daughter Bekka, Delbert McClinton, Lee Roy Parnell, Tony Joe White and others.

Mick Fleetwood's
side band included Delaney & Bonnie on "In Your Hands"...
but sadly, you can't really tell. Daughter Bekka was Zoo's
lead singer, supported by Billy Burnette (who would later
play with Bekka in Fleetwood Mac and on their own album, "Bekka
And Billy"). Further support and continuity from Kenny
Gradney, Little Feat bassist and one time member of Delaney
& Bonnie and Friends.
