Bonnie- I haven't missed a chance to see you in 40 years.   Last time was several years ago at a benefit for the St. Louis Blues Society at the Sheldon. I just found out you're playing here Aug.3.  I'm thrilled.  Wish you's come home to St. Louis more often.  See you on the 3rd!

 

  Hi Bonnie , I have been a fan of yours since the early 1970's. I seen you in Minneapolis at the Open Air Concert  in  1971 . What a great show, i Rember it so well.. You came on After Paul Butterfield .I just want to say that i feel you have the best voice in music, I hope you Play Minneapolis or Milwaukee . I can't wait to see you again.. Wish you all the best....Rick.

 

 

 

After all these years, I finally run across the lady singer that I won't forget.  I saw you perforn in the early 1970's at a place I believe was called the Fox West Coast Theatre in Long Beach California. I remember that me and my friends ran back home the next day and bought your album.  Amazing times they were because I remember the band called Delaney & Bonnie & Friends. I ran across your website and had to drop you a line.



A few of us hung out and were able to see some incredible bands back then.  Your performance has always stayed with me.  unfortunately, those friends that were with me at the concert are gone now.  But they were the best times of my life.  One of the songs we heard that night says it all, and I dedicate it to my friends and their spirit -"Only You Know and I Know"- (that they were great times in our lives).



Thank you Bonnie for continuing to touch people with your music.  I hope you come to Southern Calfornia someday.  I'll be looking out.

Keep me posted.



Love & Peace.......smile.



Sincerely

Hey Bonnie my dear,

I want to thank you for all the good music you have made. I wondered if there are any plans for you to get together with with The Allman Brothers anytime soon? If you're ever in Mount Airy NC holler at me!

i think i  "died and gone to heaven" . . .  i've just been listening to a "cd remastered issue" of  BONNIE BRAMETT'S "IT'S TIME" album! . . .  wow! . . whoa! . . . and  yeah! . . . Yeah! . . . YEAH!!!     :)

music the way it was MEANT to sound . . . Bonnie reaches down into the very depth and core of your soul and wrenches the last drop of "feel' and "emotion" out of it . . . and maybe even more than was there to begin with . . .

in the liner notes, Bonnie is quoted as maybe not enthused about her recording of "HIGHER & HIGHER" . . . but let me say: she hit that song right on the nail-head! . . . my only regret is that the track ends so soon . . . it could have gone on longer . . .  (maybe renamed "LONGER & LONGER" ) . . . but Bonnie said it was too "fast" . . . no, Bonnie . . . it wasn't 'too fast" . . . it was "too short"  ha!  :)  i LOVE this version . .  .

another track i have to single out: "SINCE I MET YOU BABY" . . .  pure "Bonnie Bramlett Magic" delivered in three minutes and four seconds . . .

but track after track this cd is greater than anything you've ever heard . . . 

i've heard the "LADY'S CHOICE" album before and have it also on a "single album cd" as well . . . but the sound quality is much better on this "remastered" disc . . . 

my "future dream": i'd love to hear a collaborative album by at least three of "the best" female sounthern gospel rockin' soul jazz singer/artists there are: BONNIE BRAMLETT . . . BEKKA BRAMLETT . . .  and TAREVA HENDERSON. (well a man can dream can't he?"   :)

 

Bonnie -

You are an awesome talent.

I heard your voice onstage in the early 70's and again on the road with Stephen Stills. When I heard your voice with Stills, I said - "that's Bonnie Bramlett." Then, later in life I saw an episode of "Roseanne" and when you sang - I knew that voice... ditto with "The Guardian." That voice is instilled in my mind. I owned all of your vinyl solo material until my collection "drowned" in a basement flood back in the late 80's. But I will never forget that bluesy voice. It has always been my favorite voice to listen to.. soothing and warm and sometimes punchy and powerful - but it is that distinct drawl and edge that makes it famous. I keep getting amazed whenever I hear your unforgettable voice and look at the face and think... 'it's Bonnie Bramlett." I saw "The Guardian" last night and I had to do a web search for you. God Bless you for making memories in my musical mind.

Blues, it gets in ya, and then it never leaves. It's sticky, like rice. Something happened when I was a kid, of course to you Ms. Bramlett I'd be a kid still. I'm only 32 come August 6. I started playing trumpet in a stage band when I was 12 this was in addition to French Horn for concert band. I guess Horn was getting my diaphragm started, still played it for many years, many people begged me to play more trumpet, maybe I will someday soon. Off and on I've been addicted to blues ever since learning "Mac The Knife" and "How High The Moon". So along came Diane Schuur and before you knew it I was hooked. Then I learned every Tina Turner song by heart. Now a couple months ago I went and saw The Guardian and found you on that stage for the camera, reminded me of "old times" reminded me of my life in the Navy in Japan and of too many bars to care, none of them a good ol place like was shown there. It even reminded me of when I was a little boy before I found I could perform on a stage back in the 70s and 80s. Nothing quite like a Blues House. Found one or two in Austin. Then I remembered what all the fuss was here in Shreveport when that movie came out. I re-watched it and looked up your quote on the internet about "gettin old, that's earned!" so true! So someday maybe we'll meet, maybe we'll even get to sing something together. At least you knew how to pull heart strings and get an old salt like me to mist up. Here's one for you! (*toast*) Bonnie you are the best in my book! (*HUGS*)

i tried to post one here yesterday but encountered some sort of "cyber computer glitch" and was unable to print in this white box . . .  and so i tried again today ("never give up!) ha!) . . . and as Gomer Pyle used to say: "sur-prise! sur-prise!!!! . . . gooolllllly!" . . . i got through this time! . . .  i just wanted to say how much i enjoy Bonnie Bramlett's latest cd/album: "ROOTS, BLUES & JAZZ" . . .  Bonnie has a delivery of a song that goes unmatched and unequalled . . .  a voice with character and soul and emotion yet tecnically melodic and defined . . .  She makes a song "come alive" . . .  it isn't just listening to a performance . . . it is listening to an "experience"!  She touches and hits our "Life Chords" . . .  i hope Bonnie sings and records for a long long time yet to come!  :)

Ms Bramlett



Hello. Recently a friend asked me to name the top five female singers in the history of rock and roll and I replied, " In no particular order, Darlene Love, Bonnie Bramlett, Tina Turner, Merry Clayton and Ann Wilson." I just wanted to let you know that.
