Free Music Review: Linda Is Back With A Jazzy Vengeance
Hit: 5 Stars
Four years after her last album, 2000's A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS, Linda Ronstadt is back with HUMMIN' TO MYSELF, which returns her to the pop/jazz standards genre that she had mined quite successfully three times in the mid-1980s with the late Nelson Riddle.
This time around, however, Linda is working with a jazz ensemble and not a large-scale orchestra, and the results give her even greater vocal flexibility now than the Nelson Riddle recordings gave her twenty years before. Working with long-time friends George Massenburg and John Boylan, Linda gives nothing less than her very best on the album's eleven tracks. The swing element is much more in evidence this time around than it had been on the Nelson Riddle albums, particularly on "Never Will I Marry" (which she had tried to record for a failed standards album all the way back in 1980), and on the Cole Porter standby "Get Out Of Town." She also takes on in very subtle fashion the Julie London classic "Cry Me A River", and gets very poignant on the album's final track, "I'll Be Seeing You."
As has been the case throughout her entire career, Linda has made it a priority to be true to herself and to the spirit of the song, and that tradition continues on HUMMIN' TO MYSELF, working with stellar musicians like Bob Mann, Alan Broadbent, Jim Horn, Peter Erskine, and others to produce the finest collection of pop and jazz standards by any pop/rock veteran out there. Even if Linda is not the most natural of jazz/pop singers in the strictest sense, she does have a natural feel for these songs; and the fact that the sound of the album has more in common with the jazz of the late 1960s than the World War II era has more than a little to do with how brilliantly HUMMIN' TO MYSELF sounds.
After nearly thirty-eight years worth of recordings, it is brilliant to know that Linda is still in fine form. HUMMIN' TO MYSELF is vigorously recommended.
