"One of the top five female voices of all time...it’s nice to hear a truly great voice from a living legend….this is real music that will make you feel love, pain and vulnerability, despair and more love. Don’t make the mistake of missing it." -FACE "I can’t believe this is the same voice that once was with Ike & Tina – this is the best I"ve ever heard her sing…this a hell of a team you have here." -IKE TURNER Roots, Blues & Jazz, the long-awaited comeback album from legendary Southern rock/blues/gospel singer Bonnie Bramlett, contains powerful recordings of rock, blues and soul-jazz standards by Chuck Berry, Stephen Stills, Sam Cooke, Joe Zawinul and Oscar Brown Jr. And, the CD presents three blues/gospel-influenced compositions by Bramlett herself! Accompaniment by the Mr. Groove Band, a sextet of experienced Nashville-based studio musicians led by brothers Tim & Roddy Smith. Guest vocalists include Bekka Bramlett, who came to international attention when she temporarily took Stevie Nicks’ position in Fleetwood Mac during the ‘90s. The first recorded collaboration of Bramlett with vocalists Robbie Montgomery and Jessie Lucas, formerly known as The Ikettes. It is little known that Bramlett was a member of Ike & Tina’s Ikettes prior to founding Delaney and Bonnie in 1968. In October 2005, TV celebrity host Larry King announced the upcoming release of this CD on Larry King Live! . Bramlett is presently in pre-production for her feature role in the Disney film Guardian with Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher.
