Box Painted Blue

My friend Bonnee' is a singer-songwriter, and a good one at that! In the intervening years between her personal hardships, Bonnie was led to write and record a slew of songs which are inspired, to say the least. Living near Nashville, good musicians were pretty easy to find, and Bonnee' and her producer found the right combination of soul, gospel and blues players to carry out her vision of the music. The result is "The Eyes I Cannot See" (c1996 Bonnee'music). The songs are a mix of blues, 'jukin', feel-good blues, gospel and ballads, and she performs them with an energy which has to be sent from above. The CD opener "Jesus, He's a friend of mine" hits you in the gut right from the start and let's you know that this is no typical gospel album.
"Catch Me when I fall" features a wall of sound usually not heard in this genre', and the title track shows a softer side of Bonnee' which draws you in and makes you sigh.
If these songs seem highly personal in nature, it's because they are. Bonnee' has lived these songs and the experience comes through in the beautiful "Box Painted Blue", my favorite from the album.
"Box Painted Blue" is a timeless number and will be the first from the album to go to video. Bonnee' and I have decided to create a music video based on our shared vision of this beautiful number and pre-production begins in a couple of weeks. We'll be filming around the Nashville area, the spectacular Tennessee mountains, and maybe a couple of South Carolina locations.
Stay tuned as we embark on this first project...we'll keep you posted!
