Editorial Reviews

The last album Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett made together, this 1972 release boasted the usual superstar cast - Eric Clapton, Dave Mason, Billy Preston, Tina Turner, Steve Cropper, Leon Russell - and such highlights as the hit 'Only You Know and I Know', 'Groupie' (which the Carpenters made into a hit as Superstar), 'Wade in the River of Jordan', and 'Comin' Home'. This remastered 2003 reissue includes six bonus tracks from the Bramletts' solo LPs, 'Over And Over', 'I'm Not Your Lover, Just Your Lovee', 'Good Vibrations', 'Are You A Beatle Or A Rolling Stone', '(You Don't Know) How Glad I Am' & 'California Rain' plus notes and unpublished photos - a key roots-rock release from the early '70s! Columbia.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why Aren't These People Big Stars?, May 22, 2003

The last time I saw Bonnie Bramlet was on the Rosanne show - playing a neighbor who was married to David Crosby - and they all sat around the back yard singing..and she sounded AMAZING! The fact that she is not a huge star with armies of worshiping fans has always mystified me. This is a classic Delaney and Bonnie album. If you like these 2 incredible singers then get this one. Its got "Only You Know and I Know" and "Superstar" which are both worth the cost of the album alone. If you don't know them, then get the live concert album first (with Clapton and Harrison) and listen to it and you will understand why these folks are worthy of our worship and admiration. Then get this album and anything else either of them recorded...Delany and Bonnie Bramlet are simply THE most under-appreciated, unknown and talented rock and rollers that the 60's produced...and don't forget - Eric Clapton stole their band became Derek and the Dominos. I would rate the live album and Motel Shot right up there with anything done by the Beatles, Stones, anyone...in the late 60's - early 70's D&B could have kicked anyone's butt right off the stage. Their albums are not that easy to find so buy this one..and buy all of them! Spread the word!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Delanie and Bonnie's Greatest Hits, September 2, 2008

This is a fine collection of their hits, BUT, make no mistake about it, D & B On Tour With Eric Clapton & Friends is the classic and by far their best. I guess it had to be when you have George Harrison and Dave Mason playing along with "EC" on guitars and Leon Russell on the ivory (as well as acting music director) how could it be equalled?

The rest of the entourage is pretty much the same gang that Leon assembled for Joe Cocker's Mad Dogs and Englishmen.

Bonnie has reemerged in this decade with I'm Still the Same (Audium, 2002) Pennies from Heaven (Zoho, 2005) Roots, Blues & Jazz (Zoho, 2005). I own all of these CDs. I enjoy each disc, but I'm most struck by a song from "I'm Still The Same." She gives her wrenching, intimate revival of "Superstar," sweetened by Mickey Raphael's haunting harmonica fills, will induce chills, whether you remember the '70s or not. "Superstar" initially was entitled "Groupie", penned by Bonnie and Leon Russell, but recorded by the Carpenters before Bonnie could put it on wax).
