Deborah Bonham has rock music in her genes. The little sister of Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, she grew up immersed in that world and here she makes her own foray into writing and performing with this high quality collection of bluesy, ballsy country-tinged tracks.Bonham has been blessed with a powerful voice. At her best (on her cover of Stay With Me Baby and on her own song Go Now) she can sound rather like Janis Joplin, all sultry and Southern, with a throat that's no stranger to tobacco products or the odd sweet shot of Jim Beam.
Named after the Bonham family home, the house built by John and her other brother Michael, The Old Hyde is unsurprisingly a family affair with her nephew Jason on drumming duties for much of the album - that is when her mate Mick Fleetwood isn't doing the honours on Open Up Your Heart. Bonham is at her best when letting go and riding high on a tide of guitars. Her guitarist Peter Bullick gives her what she needs in this respect and the album also features a guest spot by Pretenders' guitarist Robbie McIntosh as well as the one by Fleetwood. Of her own tracks, Go Now and Religion showcase her talents to best effect and she certainly knows how to handle a standard.
