*** Digipack
1957 nahm Bonnie Guitar die unvergessliche Originalversion von Dark Moon auf. Zwei Jahre später unterschrieb sie bei RCA Victor und spielte mehrere Sessions mit einer kleinen Gruppe von Los-Angeles-Studioveteranen ein – einmal mit Gesang, einmal mit Streicherbegleitung. Das Ergebnis: eine der angenehm-ergreifendsten Stimmen, die jemals auf Band verewigt wurden – auf Augenhöhe mit Julie London, Peggy Lee und anderen weiblichen Größen jener Tage. Bonnie sang in lässigstem Lounge-Stil, spielte ihre weiße Gretsch Country Club-Gitarre – sie legte ihre unverwechselbare, sinnliche Stimme über Songs, die ursprünglich Hits für die Ink Spots (Maybe) und Sanford Clark waren (The Fool); außerdem interpretierte sie neueres Material von jungen Komponisten wie Hal David, Jeff Barry und Harlan Howard. Dazu gab es einige ihrer eigenen Original-Songs. Vier der Titel erschienen als Singles; der Rest blieb bis heute unveröffentlicht. Todd Everett kommentiert in seinem Begleittext die ganze Geschichte, inklusive neuen Ergänzungen von Bonnie Guitar selbst.
In 1957, Bonnie Guitar recorded the haunting original version of Dark Moon. Two years later, she signed with RCA VICTOR and recorded several sessions with a small band of Los Angeles session veterans, augmented by voices on one session, and strings on another. The result was some of the most blissfully poignant vocals ever committed to tape. On a par with Julie London, Peggy Lee, or any of the era’s finest female artists. Singing in her languid ultra-lounge style and playing her white Gretsch Country Club guitar, Bonnie brought her distinctive, sultry vocal style to songs that were originally hits for The Ink Spots (Maybe) and Sanford Clark (The Fool); plus newer material from young songwriters like Hal David, Jeff Barry, and Harlan Howard. To that, she added a couple of her own originals. Four of these sides were released as singles; the rest remained unreleased in their original form until now. With new input from Bonnie Guitar, Todd Everett's liner notes tell the whole story.
,,Sinnlich und gefühlvoll interpretiert sie mit schmeichelnder Stimme Hits von den Ink Spots (“Maybe”) bis zu Sanford Clark (“The Fool”), singt in lässigem Lounge-Stil Material von jungen Komponisten wie Hal David, Jeff Barry und Harlan Howard." (Good Times, Juni / Juli 2012)
