Late Night Music: Linda Ronstadt
I have always really loved Linda Ronstadt, but she has always kind of puzzled me. She has without doubt one of the best voices ever I have ever heard, but her choice of material has often left me wondering, and her stylistic choices have wound a serpentine path from country/rock to Motown to Aaron Neville love ballads to Mexican mariachi to Nelson Riddle, and somewhere out there was Walt Disney. It’s been a strange ride loving Linda.
But she did have one ass-kicking decade from 1968 to 1978, and her version of this song did not leave me wondering.
Enjoy one of the best female vocalists ever.
