'You know certain songs just rise to the top over the years,' she said. The other songs that Bonoff will perform Sunday night will include 'Someone to Lay Down Beside Me' and 'Lose Again,' a couple of her biggest hits. '’Something Fine’ was one that I knew and I felt it would be very different if performed from the perspective of a woman, because as far as I know, no woman has recorded it. 'I was originally asked to do ‘Late for the Sky’ and, in retrospect, I think I could have done it, but we didn’t have a lot of time,' Bonoff said. Most of the songs that are on the album were selected from a list, she said. 'I would have felt bad if I wasn’t a part of the tribute.' 'For me it was a huge honor, because I was in Los Angeles when Jackson was writing his songs and trying to get record deals,' Bonoff said. Other artists who appear on the album include Bonnie Raitt, Ben Harper, Lucinda Williams, Lyle Lovett, Marc Cohn, Bruce Hornsby, Keb’ Mo’ and Don Henley of the Eagles. One new song is Bonoff’s cover of Browne’s 'Something Fine,' which appears on the new album, 'Looking Into You: A Jackson Browne Tribute.' 'We play stuff from all my albums that go all the way back to the 1970s and covers the past 40 years,' she said.

Sunday’s set will be a career retrospective, Bonoff explained. 'I’ve been in Park City a long time ago for vacation, but I have never played up there,' she said. Nina Gerber will open the show at 6 p.m.īonoff said she is looking forward to the show. Park City will get to see Bonoff in action when she plays the Egyptian Theatre for one night on Sunday, April 13. 'I played in front of 10,000 people for about two months,' Bonoff said. When Bonoff’s self-titled debut album was released in 1977, Browne asked her to be his opening act. 'He would play Monday nights and always would come in with a new song.'īrowne was also a huge influence on Bonoff and, later, became one of her biggest supporters. 'I remember being 16 and hearing him play and being so blown away,' Bonoff said during an interview with The Park Record from her home in Santa Barbara, Calif. When singer and songwriter Karla Bonoff was younger, saw future Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jackson Brown perform at the Troubadour in Los Angeles, Calif. Bonoff said she is fortunate to still tour and play after 40 years in the business. Singer and songwriter Karla Bonoff, known for her hits 'Someone to Lay Down Beside Me' and 'Lose Again,' will perform at the Egyptian Theatre on Sunday.
