    Karla Bonoff is a great writer, singer, and performer. It's a shame she has never really gotten the recognition she deserves. always behind the scenes.

      Seems to me, that being a successful songwriter has gotten her the attention, respect and certainly the monetary rewards she deserves.
      She’s pretty, and does have a nice voice, but compare her version of “Lose Again” to Linda’s and you can see her excellent songwriting has been her major strength.
      It’s not an unusual phenomena by any measure. Look up Jimmy Webb, Townes Van Zandt, Hoyt Axton, Dean Dillion…. All excellent songwriters. Just don’t have that extra it that’s completes the package. And so few do.
      When Linda lost her voice, her musical career was over.
      Karla can write as long as she’s inclined, whether she can perform or not.
      It’s definitely suitable for the marathon that is life….

      I suppose it was Karlas name on my Linda Ronstadt records that made me buy her album in 77. It’s about worn out now, and she has always had my recognition!

    Having been a fan of Karla's since the Restless Nights album , I had the absolute pleasure of seeing her at the Grey Eagle Music Hall in
    Asheville, NC just recently ...she and Nina Berger were wonderful !!!
    Karla was very down to earth, funny and just a nice person and guess what ? She hasn't aged a day since Restless Nights ? She looks the same as on the album cover !
    She's very pretty and has a killer smile !
    Nina was awesome and played the Ukrainian anthem which captured my heart.
    If you weren't there you missed a great performance !
    It was a night to remember !

      Danielle, the key word in your post is 'version', How can a version be 'much better' than the original? I have heard Wynonna's cover( for that is what it is), and it is very good. Is an artist of today painting the Sistine Chapel (with all the latest electronic tools he has today), much better than Michelangelo? BTW, where are the Judds today? Karla Bonoff is still performing at 67!
