Free Music Notes for Prisoner in Disguise
Free Music Review: Still the best female singer that ever was
Hit: 5 Stars
Her version of "I Will Always Love You" is miles ahead
of Whitney Houston's, which is over-sung, shrill, and grating by comparison.
There's been a recent blast of "hub bub" about Annie Lennox doing a version of "Many Rivers To Cross". Again, she's no match for Ronstadt's version on this album.
Cap it off with a couple of great radio-ready hits, and some excellent ballads and superb female/male delicate duets like "Prisoner In Disguise" and you'll be hard pressed to find a better country rock album anywhere.
Prisoner in Disguise Poster
"Hey mister, that's me up on the jukebox," Linda Ronstadt sings on her 1975 album Prisoner in Disguise, and it was no idle boast. The album yielded two of her finest singles, thanks to the retooled Motown classics "Heat Wave" and "Tracks of My Tears." The album's support material is just as strong, ranging from a banjo-strumming version of Neil Young's "Love Is a Rose" to a plaintive pop reading of Jimmy Cliff's reggae classic "Many Rivers to Cross." There's also a simple but lovely cover of Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You" that predates Whitney Houston's glass-shattering take on it (for the movie The Bodyguard) by more than a decade and a half. One thing about Ronstadt and producer-manager Peter Asher: they knew good material when they heard it and almost always turned it into something truly special. --Daniel DurchholzUS only remastered 2008 reissue pressed on a gold disc!
