I'm not a typical fan of Linda Ronstadt's. The only album I own of hers beside this is "Mad Love", her 80's attempt at Elvis Costello flavoured power pop which alienated a lot of her fans. But I dig it when artists attempt new things so these two albums are right up my alley. I don't see how the reviewer for Amazon.com can call this her creative nadir. I catch glimpses of heaven when listening to this CD, particularly when Linda's soft, clear voice takes on the hauntingly beautiful piece of pop perfection that is the Beach Boys' "In My Room". This one brings tears to my eyes. "Dedicated", "Be My Baby", "Baby I Love You", "Angel Baby" and "Winter Light" are also high points. The arrangements are tasteful with just the right amount of harps, strings, and Linda's own backup vocals mixed to perfection. The duet with Aaron Neville on "Brahms Lullabye" is sublime in it's quiet grandeur. Appropriately, the CD ends with one of the loveliest melodies ever recorded by the Beatles, the wonderfully calming and optimistic "Good Night" with a string section that is very faithful to the original version. Ringo sang it nicely but Linda's version is (dare I say it?) the superior one. After a day of stress, "Dedicated to the One I Love" is just what the doctor ordered to unwind with. I do agree with most of my fellow Amazon.com critics who say that Linda's one misstep is the cover of Queen's "We Will Rock You" but I do appreciate the inherent humor in including it in this collection. Soothing music like this is for everybody except those that have to have the relentless pounding of drums to enjoy music. But if you're into quiet, lovely music this CD is a must-have, whether you have babies or you're a grown up baby like me.
