Free Music Notes for Linda Ronstadt: Greatest Hits
Free Music Review: Best Of Ronstadt up to 1976
Hit: 5 Stars
Who could guess that a greatest hits album as good as this one would be way, way to early in a career. This great album was one I had in 1976 on vinyl, and along with most teen-age boys of the time I had a major crush on the lovely Linda. Recently, I saw it on CD and snatched it up.
In any case, this is a great collection of Ms. Ronstadt's Country and Country-Rock era; the cover of "Silver Threads" is probably my all time favorite country song, and "Love has no pride" is one of the most heart wrenching ballads ever recorded. Amazingly, even though these remain some of my all time favorites, Ronstadt just got better and better as a vocalist for three more decades.
So here's the deal, this is a best of the early career of one of the finest female vocalist to ever be recorded, and for the price, you can't beat it!
Linda Ronstadt: Greatest Hits Poster
Linda Ronstadt's appeal crossed so many genre lines it's impossible to categorize her as anything other than a gifted vocalist. She enjoyed success on country and rock charts alike with a voice that capably handled the requirements of both styles. There was a commanding roughness to her you-did-me-wrong classic, "You're No Good," that mixed both soul and R&B stylings into her vocals. In a similar vein, she handled the Motown standard, "Heat Wave," like a pro, this time giving it the slightest hint of a country twang. She even rose to the occasion of covering Buddy Holly's "That'll Be the Day." Rondstadt had some of her best moments with material that had a more emotional element, regardless of genre. "Love Is a Rose" and "Tracks of My Tears" are good examples of the disparate styles she could navigate with equal aplomb. Greatest Hits doesn't chronicle Rondstadt's hits past the mid-1970s, but is still worth owning, not only for the songs themselves, but as a point of reference in her career. --Steve GdulaCountry Music CDs
