Bio
I was living in Austin, TX from 1980-1993 and during the last few years there I was selling clothes that I made on the drag (Guadalupe St.) across from the University of Texas. I had a communications degree, worked a few "real jobs" i.e. a flight attendant in L.A., and a writer position in D.C. Then I decided to give it all up and figure out my own thing.
One day I was sitting out on the drag and Keith, a fellow vendor offered me a guitar that he said he wanted to get rid of that he wasn't using. I had never tried to play or even considered it, but I figured why not. It would give me something else to do while I was hanging out there at the market. I soon began learning some Joni Mitchell tunes from a song book, then began writing songs of my own. It was a fun time, since I had never planned any of this. Plus, Austin was a great place to be as a new songwriter with all of the various open mikes everywhere. Any day you wrote a new song, there was usually somewhere to go and perform it. I also met a lot of other wonderful songwriters then including Michael Fracasso, Kathi Nordone, Natalie Withers, Kevin Gant, Michele Solberg and many many more.
About Everything it Wants
Everything it Wants is my 4th independent recording. After recording mostly solo albums I wanted to do something different while still not over-producing. I went back to Austin where I had lived from 1980-1993 to do the recording. After the album came out I received some great encouragement and assistance from radio show hosts that enabled the album to receive airplay throughout Europe and Australia as well as in the U. S.

Her recordings include Mindstorms (1995), Coming Back to Life (1998), Another Land (2000), Everything it Wants (2002), and Even Folk Singers get the Blues (2007)

  • Americana songwriting that is fresh, vulnerable, & inspiring!
    author: Ann-Marie in San Antonio, Texas

    Everything It Wants speaks to our hearts as we navigate through these changing, unsettling times. My free-spirited friends really love it. I appreciate the textures of vulnerability, wonderlust, and soulful questioning. Be sure to pack this on you next roadtrip!

  • Wonderful CD - A beautiful voice with original, unique, personal, and insightful
    author: Nancy Feldman

    I love this CD of Bonnie's. When I'm feeling down or lost it always brings me up and found! Looking for Answers, and Resistance, speak to me beautifully and really help me through some psychological stuff. And I love her voice on Why Wyoming. Goin' Down To The Canyon is fun and upbeat, and Nothin' Quite As Relaxing is a good, satirical commentary on our TV-addicted culture. Get this CD and enjoy a truly unique, original singer-songwriter!

  • Excellent, another great album!
    author: Marissa

    Bonnie Bailiff has a calmness and peace that transcends space and time. Her songs have touched me deeply, and when I got this album, I was enthralled and enchanted. The opeing track Everything It Wants is about risking giving your heart everything it wants, and putting yourself out there for the world. Her songs deal with a wide aray of subjects like Passing Through is about being a touring musician, while Looking for Answers deals with the search for answers to life's big questions. Outside Jackson is about getting a new place, and Resistance and All On Your Side deal with new love and finding yourself. Once again, Bonnie has touched me with her beautifully personal music and calmness that radiates from her voice and soothing hypnotic melodies. If you love music, buy this CD, and discover a hidden gem in Bonnie Bailiff!.
