BONNIE BRAMLETT
Bonnie Bramlett has played a major part of rock ‘n’ roll history. At 16, she became the first –and only – white Ikette with the Ike & Tina Turner Revue. In the late ‘60s, she and then-husband Delaney formed Delaney & Bonnie & Friends, the first real rock ‘n’ roll traveling road show, whose onstage members included George Harrison, John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Duane Allman, Dave Mason, Gram Parsons, Leon Russell and Rita Coolidge. She co-wrote “Superstar,” a hit for Karen Carpenter and nominated for a Grammy. Her new CD, “Beautiful,” reunites her with producer Johnny Sandlin and such musicians as Randall Bramblett, Scott Boyer, David Hood, Bill Stewart and the Muscle Shoals Horns. |
