New World

by William RuhlmannKarla Bonoff returned to the album racks after six years with New World, on which she once again demonstrated her talent for plaintive romantic ballads. If there was nothing to match her best material, there were a couple of tunes that once again provided interpretative opportunities for Linda Ronstadt, especially "All My Life," which Ronstadt and Aaron Neville turned into a pop standard the year after this album was released, and a couple yet to be discovered, especially "Still Be Getting Over You."
