Profilo: A Canadian folk music singer, songwriter and guitarist; born in Toronto, November 13, 1940. Dear Companion (Album). Prestige International.

Bonnie Dobson did not make the transition from folk to rock well, as this 1969 album attests. With its pop trimmings and orchestration, the impression is that RCA was trying to put Dobson into the pop market, rather than the rock or even folk-rock one. The arrangements aren't awful, but they aren't inspired either, and don't suit the songs well. It's as if someone was trying to make her over into a folk Bobbie Gentry.

Morning Dew", also known as "(Walk Me Out in the) Morning Dew", is a post-apocalyptic folk rock song written by Canadian folk singer Bonnie Dobson and made famous by the Grateful Dead. The song is a dialogue between the last man and woman left alive following an apocalyptic catastrophe: Dobson has stated that the initial inspiration for "Morning Dew" was the film On the Beach which is focused on the survivors of virtual global annihilation by nuclear holocaust.

Bonnie Dobson (born November 13, 1940, Toronto, Ontario, Canada) is a Canadian folk music songwriter, singer, and guitarist, most known in the 1960s for composing the songs "I'm Your Woman" and "Morning Dew".

Bonnie Dobson was born on the 13th November 1940 in Toronto, Canada. She discovered her love for music very early on. She was about 11 when she first got interested. Also in 1962, Dobson put out another album for Prestige Records, 'A Merry Go Round Of Children's Songs'. At later dates she also recorded 'Bonnie Dobson' (Nimbus, 1969), 'Good Morning Rain' (RCA/Victor, 1970), and 'Morning Dew' (Polydor, 1976). The two LPs released here on CD for the first time are 'For The Love Of Him' issued in 1964 by Mercury Records and 'Bonnie Dobson' recorded in 1972 for Argo.

Bonnie first learned Born In The Country from Judy Roderick while they were Greenwich Village roomies, and she cut it for her 1965 For The Love Of Him album. Here she revisits it in a more upbeat, rocking arrangement. The instrumental Sandy Boys of 19th century origin gives the band a showcase. Bonnie Dobson is singing better than ever and with total commitment! She sounds glorious. What a thrill to renew a musical acquaintance with a voice I have loved for decades. The notes say she has begun performing again, noting that a personal invitation from Robert Plant to join him at a late 2012 concert opened the gates after a decades long hiatus. Hope she comes Stateside! - Michael Tearson.
