4 out of 5 stars Still a great singer.......2007-02-18

I have been a huge fan of Bonnie Koloc's since the '70's and seeing her so many times at the Earl of Old Town. ...we shared the blues...
My favorite old song is "Crazy Mary". I miss the old songs so much and would love to get them on CD's. My albums are worn out! Please get the old albums on CD.

5 out of 5 stars I can't believe this album is almost 20 years old!!!.......2006-10-18

I am listening to it as I write this review. I haven't played the CD in years and I forgot how electrifying the album is. Anyone who has ever heard "If My Love Were a River" or "Mama Chicago" knows what I'm talking about. And the title song is a classic.

I saw Bonnie promote this album at the Bottom Line in New York City in 1987. I was unfamiliar with her at the time. I actually went to see Mimi Farina, who opened for her. Bonnie just blew me away with her voice and her sensuous musicality, and the material was excellent! I remember she encored with Irving Berlin's "Blue Skies." What an evening!! When the show was over I rushed to buy the vinyl album which was on sale in the club.

I eventually sought out all of Bonnie's solo LPs, on the Ovation and Epic labels. She is such an incredible natural resource and I'm grateful to have been reminded of that in listening to this album.

3 out of 5 stars Great Voice - Lacks Soul.......2004-12-05

' just saw Bonnie at the Old Town School of Folk Music yesterday where she reprised some of the songs in this album. Her voice and the backup artists were great and many of the pieces are entertaining. She should stay away from the R&B styled songs as she doesn't have the gritty power and range for it. Instead of being dynamic, pieces like "You Played Me Just Like a Piano" came out sounding like a suburbanite's idea of R&B.

If you like Bonnie Koloc and engaging music this is a fine album.

5 out of 5 stars ATTENTION ALL KOLOC FANS!!!.......2003-10-28

Just saw Bonnie Koloc in an intimate little concert in LaCrosse, Wisconsin (October 24th, 2003). She was absolutely amazing and I am happy to report that some of her fans have talked her into her own website which they are currently developing, and a brand new CD of many of her hits (a few of which she admits to have forgotten about). It should be out in the next few months!!! Keep looking as she is more than worth the wait!

4 out of 5 stars Where are her early recordings?.......2003-09-13

I'm a suburban Chicagoite who used to go to Bonnie's gigs. I bought her records and have wondered where I can buy CD versions of her albums. Where are these CD's? Who can get them made? I know there is a market out there for her wonderful voice and music.
