Home [Remaster]

Performer: Delaney & Bonnie
Artist: Isaac Hayes; Leon Russell
Producer: Donald "Duck" Dunn
Distributor: Universal Distribution

Notes: Delaney & Bonnie: Delaney Bramlett, Bonnie Bramlett. Additional personnel: Isaac Hayes, Leon Russell. Recorded before Eric Clapton famously championed Delaney & Bonnie Bramlett (and vice versa), 1969's HOME (released on a subsidiary of the famed Stax label) finds the husband/wife duo belting out soul and blues tunes, backed by top-notch sidemen such as Isaac Hayes and Booker T. & the M.G.'s. While this debut is unfairly overshadowed by the couple's later, more high-profile outings, it features plenty of passionate, rough-edged gems, including "It's Been a Long Time Coming" and "A Right Now Love," that reveal why Delaney & Bonnie garnered such high-profile company. (Note: The 2006 reissue of HOME contains numerous bonus tracks.)

Uncut (p.102) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "With Booker T & The MGs providing the grooves, the Memphis Horns layering the icing, Isaac Hayes, William Bell, Leon Russell and Carl Radle helping out and the Bramletts capably playing...HOME is a can't miss proposition."

Delaney Bramlett was a successful studio musician and Bonnie Lynn O'Farrell was the only white member of Ike Turner's Ikettes when they met in Los Angeles in 1967. The couple married that week, and formed a soulful, rootsy band that hosted a rotating line-up of stellar guest musicians that included Jim Keltner, Bobby Keyes, Leon Russell, and Gram Parsons, among others. The group made six albums, had two charting singles, co-wrote songs for others, and toured extensively with numerous artists of the late '60s (including good friend Eric Clapton), but their musical tenure and marriage ended in 1972. Neither artist's solo career was as influential as their combined efforts, although Bonnie enjoyed some success as an actress and Delaney continued on as a top-notch session man.
