Why Aren't These People Big Stars?

"The last time I saw Bonnie Bramlet was on the Rosanne show - playing a neighbor who was married to David Crosby - and they all sat around the back yard singing..and she sounded AMAZING! The fact that she is not a huge star with armies of worshiping fans has always mystified me. This is a classic Delaney and Bonnie album. If you like these 2 incredible singers then get this one. Its got "Only You Know and I Know" and "Superstar" which are both worth the cost of the album alone. If you don't know them, then get the live concert album first (with Clapton and Harrison) and listen to it and you will understand why these folks are worthy of our worship and admiration. Then get this album and anything else either of them recorded...Delany and Bonnie Bramlet are simply THE most under-appreciated, unknown and talented rock and rollers that the 60's produced...and don't forget - Eric Clapton stole their band became Derek and the Dominos. I would rate the live album and Motel Shot right up there with anything done by the Beatles, Stones, anyone...in the late 60's - early 70's D&B could have kicked anyone's butt right off the stage. Their albums are not that easy to find so buy this one..and buy all of them! Spread the word!!"

The Best Ever White Soul Music

"I just love every song on this album and like a fine wine they sound as deep and rich as ever decades later. Both Delany and Bonnie sing their hearts and souls out and the feelings evoked by the words perfectly match the feelings stirred by the harmonies and pitch. If you love pure unbridled vocal harmonic performances sung with feeling in the gospel deep south R&B style, there is nothing better than this. These are the type of vocal performances that inspired a 17 year old Steve Winwood in his debut singing with the Spencer Davis group, as well as Eric Clapton later and so many other English musicians from the late 60's - early 70's. Some of these same musicians got together on the 1970 party train crossing Canada in the DVD released a few years ago known as Festival Express, with some footage of Delany & Bonnie in their prime. This is one of my top ten desert island albums of music."
