Bear Family just put out another Bonnie Guitar CD, Intimate Session.

Like By the Fireside, the previous "Velvet Lounge" Bonnie Guitar CD from Bear Family, Intimate Session is only about half an hour long, so I don't understand why both records couldn't be on one CD.

Of course Intimate Session is very different. While By the Firesidewas a solo record, just Bonnie with no other musicians, Intimate Session has her playing with three other guitarists, string section, rhythm section and background vocalists.

The music is excellent and the liner notes include lyrics as well as excerpts from interviews with Bonnie Guitar. I'm still hoping Bear Family will release a box set of her work.
