Album Description "One of the top five female voices of all time...it?s nice to hear a truly great voice from a living legend?.this is real music that will make you feel love, pain and vulnerability, despair and more love. Don?t make the mistake of missing it." -FACE "I can?t believe this is the same voice that once was with Ike & Tina ? this is the best I've ever heard her sing?this a hell of a team you have here." -IKE TURNER Roots, Blues & Jazz, the long-awaited comeback album from legendary Southern rock/blues/gospel singer Bonnie Bramlett, contains powerful recordings of rock, blues and soul-jazz standards by Chuck Berry, Stephen Stills, Sam Cooke, Joe Zawinul and Oscar Brown Jr. And, the CD presents three blues/gospel-influenced compositions by Bramlett herself! Accompaniment by the Mr. Groove Band, a sextet of experienced Nashville-based studio musicians led by brothers Tim & Roddy Smith. Guest vocalists include Bekka Bramlett, who came to international attention when she temporarily took Stevie Nicks? position in Fleetwood Mac during the ?90s. The first recorded collaboration of Bramlett with vocalists Robbie Montgomery and Jessie Lucas, formerly known as The Ikettes. It is little known that Bramlett was a member of Ike & Tina?s Ikettes prior to founding Delaney and Bonnie in 1968. In October 2005, TV celebrity host Larry King announced the upcoming release of this CD on Larry King Live! . Bramlett is presently in pre-production for her feature role in the Disney film Guardian with Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsWon't Let Me Go When I'm Lonely Lee Armstrong | Winterville, NC United States | 06/25/2006 (4 out of 5 stars) "Bonnie's new CD builds on the strengths of the amazing "I'm Still the Same" from 2002. She sings some standards, freshens the familiar, and offers originals on this excellent set. One of my very favorites is her treatment of Joe Zawinul's "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" that was a hit back in the 60s for the Buckinghams. With Roddy Smith's searing guitar, she rips into the melody and tears the emotion off the bone with a savage proclamation of love, "There is no girl in the whole world that can love him like I do." Another of my favorites is the Bramlett original "Gotcha" with its jazz groove and Bonnie's vocals alternating between boil & simmer, "Love came & hit me straight on the lips, the longer the kisses, the sweeter it gets." Stephen Stills' classic "Love the One You're With" is given a Stax-style makeover with Jessie Lucas and Robbie Montgomery who worked with Bonnie as part of the Ikettes making this track snap, crackle & pop. Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come" is given a sterling treatment with the build from its soft beginning to the full-bodied climax. Bonnie's original "Carefree" is an excellent upbeat tune. Nat Adderley's "Work Song" is given a good interpretation. Bonnie goes swing on Chuck Berry's "No Particular Place to Go" that is a bold departure. The set ends with a smoky torch rendition of "Harlem Nocturne," "The melody clings around my heart strings, it won't let me go when I'm lonely." "Roots, Blues & Jazz" is a searing set, well worth the search. Enjoy!" The World's Greatest White Soul/Blues Singer Is Back! Music Maven | Southern California | 07/02/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "One of the greatest crimes in the history of Music is that Bonnie Bramlett is more known for playing Roseanne's waitress pal than she is for her amazing singing. Bonnie Bramlett is now and has always been the "White Queen Of Soul" - throw in her amazing talent for singing Rock, Gospel and Country Rock and you have one of the greatest singers of the 20th Century. This CD does not let us Bonnie Bramlett fans down. She's as good, if not better, than ever! This writer became a fan in a little club in Los Angeles in 1968. As we used to say back then "Bonnie blew my mind!". 38 years later and she's still doing it. Keep 'em comin', Bonnie! You are the very BEST!" Aging with grace Jerry Flinker | atlantic city NJ | 05/06/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Thirty-five years passed since I had heard of Bonnie(I thought she was wonderful in the 60's) . I got older, she got older and Lord did she get better."
