Free Music Review: Almost, but not quite a career retrospective
Hit: 5 Stars
I have a shopping weakness... I can't resist an album by Heart or one by Linda Ronstadt. The other day I came across this CD, and although I probably have all the songs on the CD already, (with the exception of the beautiful "Adios") and it missed many of my personal favorites, it is still a wonderful collection of songs.
So here's the deal, if you are not a fan of "Country Linda Ronstadt" or "Big Band Linda", or if you are an addict like me, this is a great CD to have for the fun of it, otherwise, her Greatest Hits, Vol. 1 & 2 is a better collection as far as I'm concerned, and I would add For Sentimental Reasonsfor me... In any case there is nothing to complain about here, including her beautiful "Somewhere out there" and her duets with Aaron Neville, so it's all good stuff, it just misses some of my favorites.
The Very Best of Linda Ronstadt Poster
The very best of Linda Ronstadt packs a single CD with 21 Ronstadt classics released by Capitol and Elektra/Asylum from 1967-1993. 2002.Linda Ronstadt, who emerged from SoCal's vaunted early-'70s country-folk scene, became the American female rock superstar of the Me Decade. After the initial success of the Stone Poneys' Michael Nesmith-penned "Different Drum," Ronstadt expanded her horizons through interpretations of a long string of successful pop and R&B covers. Along the way she championed emerging songwriters like Warren Zevon ("Poor Poor Pitiful Me") and contemporary favorites like Neil Young ("Love Is a Rose") in the bargain. As the formula waned with the changing tastes of the '80s, she briefly turned to new wave before stepping boldly back to the pop standards of the '30s, '40s, and '50s. Unfortunately, this collection inexplicably skips over that three-album collaboration with arranger-conductor Nelson Riddle, a body of work that presaged the 1990s' lounge-pop revival by a full decade--and outclassed it by miles. It also eschews a compelling contemporary Latin chapter of her career in favor of her winning collaborations with Aaron Neville ("Don't Know Much" and "All My Life") and less successful AC fodder like "Winter Light" and "Somewhere Out There" with James Ingram. A good primer to Ronstadt's immense vocal talents and recording history, but one that's flawed by some crucial missing chapters. --Jerry McCulley
