It's not a Bryndle CD (or a solo Karla album
for that matter) without the "Big Bonoff Ballad"
and this song is that. This was written by Karla and Wendy
(probably) in 1996 and was performed at least once by Bryndle
that year. Currently, Karla performs it with Kenny at many
of her live dates. Colorado is a favorite place of Karla's
and she plays there at least a couple of times a year. This
recording was made at a show there in the middle of 2002..

recorded live
- June, 1996
This raw cut was recording outdoors in Oregon. Bryndle shared
the bill at the Britt Music Festival with Jim Messina and
Steve Forbert. As it turned out, this was Andrew Gold's last
performance with Bryndle before leaving the band and moving
to the East Coast. "One Heartbeat Away" sounds raw
and unfinished compared with the version that would end up
on "House of Silence" more than 5 years later. The
jangly Bryd's-like guitar sound evolved into a country feel
and some of the lyrics would change when it was recorded again
in 2001. This is a very rough board mix, dominated by the
electric guitar and bass, it leaves the acoustic guitar and
mandolin nearly nonexistent. Not a good representation of
the version on House of Silence but an insight into "the
process."

Southern California - 1995
A nice live-in-the-studio version of this song recorded shortly
after the release of the first album. "Concrete River"
was written about the same time as most of the songs on the
first album but was held over for "Bryndle 2."
