"Hey, you know that's real good," Bonoff remembers Ronstadt saying, "What else have you got?" On Linda's "Hasten Down the Wind" album, there were three Bonoff songs: "Someone to Lay Down Beside Me," "If He's Ever Near" and "Lose Again."Īs Ronstadt was scoring hits with Karla Bonoff songs, Karla herself was signed as a solo artist to Columbia Records in 1977. Karla recalled playing a tape of "Lose Again" for her. Kenny and Andrew joined Linda Ronstadt's band, and through that connection, Ronstadt was to hear a demo of hers. Bryndle broke up, but it launched four very illustrious careers. "It was a hit in Santa Maria ," Karla remembers. In the next few years, had we stayed together, I think we could have done well." A single, with Karla singing lead, was released from those sessions, but failed to forward the band's career. They actually had Lou Adler produce a single to try to make us like that. the closest thing they could compare us to was the Mamas and the Papas. This was right before Crosby, Stills and Nash, and before Fleetwood Mac. I think they didn't really know quite what to make of it. Speaking of the A&M project, Karla says, "They didn't release it. They were, unfortunately, a bit ahead of their time.
The band made an album for A&M, but it was never released. Thus the band Bryndle was born - one of the early songwriter groups, even before the Eagles. Something powerful in their combined sound drew them together. They were Kenny Edwards, (who had started the Stone Poneys with Linda Ronstadt and Bobby Kimmel), Wendy Waldman, and Andrew Gold. Jackson Browne, James Taylor and Elton John were around the Troubadour in those days." There were some other writer-singers who became friends of Karla's, and eventually, they decided to put a band together. She talks about lining up at the legendary Troubadour at noon on Mondays to get a slot in the famous Monday night Troubadour "hoot," which was a breaking ground for many artists who went on to great success. She became friends with other singer-songwriters and musicians who were creating their own unique sound. Karla's sister became a teacher of history and religion, but Karla's passion was always music.
An 11-song demo was recorded but no deal came of this first effort. She had already fallen in love with the guitar and studied with Frank Hamilton of the famous folk group, The Weavers.īy 16, Karla and her sister Lisa auditioned for Elektra Records. She and her sister Lisa were writing songs and playing as a duo titled "The Daughters of Chester P" named after their father, Dr. Indoor masking is also required.īorn and raised in Southern California, Karla Bonoff was a songwriter by the age of fifteen.
