Hit: 5 Stars
I couldn't agree more with the reviews here. I thought I was crazy for spending so much on one CD, but I guess I'm not alone! Spending $30 for one CD may seem strange to others, but "Don't Cry Now" is one of Linda Ronstadt's finest albums, and it is perhaps my favourite of her albums. It's worth every penny, especially now that is has been remastered.
Indeed, the album is mostly ballads, but Ronstadt's biggest strength as an artist, besides her vocal ability, is her choice of material; it's impeccable. My three favourite tracks on the album are generally associated with other artists: "Silver Threads and Golden Needles" (Dusty Springfield), "Desperado" (The Eagles) and "Love Has No Pride" (Bonnie Raitt). As much as I like those artists and their versions of these songs, nobody does them better than Linda. To me, they are the definitive versions. Particularly "Desperado", perhaps one of the most-covered songs in music history. Linda's version is powerful in its simplicity, and her vocals are both pristine and pack an emotional wallop.
The remastering on this CD is superb, particularly since many of Linda's '70s recordings on CD need to be remastered for today's listeners.
Don't Cry Now Poster
While Don't Cry Now is Linda Ronstadt's fourth solo album, it has the feel of a sophomore release. Perhaps that's due to the albums that bookend this 1973 outing: it was preceded by a self-titled collection that signaled the big-voiced, doe-eyed singer's move away from country toward rock, an expedition capped with her 1974 breakthrough, Heart Like a Wheel. Ronstadt was on firmer footing with each outing; Don't Cry Now is better than the record before it and weaker than the one to follow. A slew of in-demand Southern California players are along to assist Ronstadt, who tackles material from some of the favored songwriters of the day, including John David Souther, Neil Young, Frey-Henley, and Randy Newman. --Steven StolderCountry Music CDs
