![]() Bonnie Bishop (from the album The Walk available on Plan BB) Bonnie Bishop put together a crack team for The Walk. Hot players and slick production, her latest release wrapping her Roots around Americana, R&B rhythms, Gospel, the playing clean and precise throughout The Walk, from beginning to end, each note in place and Bonnie sounding soulful. It is a bold move to open your album with a seven-minute song however Bonnie Bishop makes her own rules, beginning The Walk on a marching beat protest tune with “Love Revolution”. Bonnie greets listeners with a ‘welcome to the love revolution’, playing the realist by claiming ‘we’ve still got a long way to go’ while remaining optimistic, encouraging to ‘march on’. The mood continues seamlessly when it reinforces the sentiment with “Keep on Moving”, where dashes of keyboard notes lead a laid-back groove as subtle background vocals softly sing ‘keep on moving’. “Every Happiness Under the Sun” opens with funky drums, the celebratory clink of a glass announcing a big toast for the song, Bonnie Bishop offering up thanks for ‘happiness under the sun’, giving props to ‘blue skies’ and ‘big highs’. Solo gospel piano plays for the first fifty seconds of “Song Don’t Fail Me Now” before being joined first by organ, then by drums, Bonnie Bishop closing with a big tune of hymnal proportions. ‘There’s something about a melody, it brings you back right and it sets you free’, Bonnie exits painting big expressions with the power of a song.
