Prisoner in Disguise»rank: 5349par: Linda Ronstadt
Chroniques et points de vue: essential recording:'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 ls 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 ... |

Simple Dreams»rank: 6723par: Linda Ronstadt
Chroniques et points de vue: essential recording:0n its face, Simple Dreams seems a crazy quilt of styles, from the friendly country-rock remake of Buddy Holly's 'lt's So Easy,' the brooding covers of Roy 0rbison's 'Blue Bayou,' and Dolly Parton's 'l Never Will Marry' to dissolute tales of rock & roll madness like the Rolling Stones' 'Tumbling Dice' and Warren Zevon's 'Carmelita' and 'Poor Poor Pitiful Me.' Yet Ronstadt is able to keep it all together, proving her interpretive depth and stylistic breadth all at once. Simple Dreams is perhaps Ronstadt's most adventurous ... |

Heart Like A Wheel»rank: 9698par: Linda Ronstadt
Chroniques et points de vue: essential recording:lt's often said that this 1974 set, Ronstadt's true commercial breakthrough after a half decade's worth of minor hits, set the formula for the platinum successes to follow: some underrecognized singer/songwriter jewels, a couple of semi-obscure early rock tunes, always with something for country radio as well as Top 40 to grab hold of.

The Very Best of»rank: 556par: Linda Ronstadt
Chroniques et points de vue:From :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 ls a Rose') in the bargain.
