Music reviews of The Very Best of Linda Ronstadt
Music Review: It truly is *some of* the Best of Linda Ronstadt!
Rating: 4 Stars
I loved this CD. I have to admit it's does not contain all of her most beloved or "best" songs but I think that you get a good bit of them.
Great CD and Ronstadt's voice is definitely great on the track from one of my favorite childhood animated movies, "An American Tale". I love James Ingram's contributing to the song but I loved the two Aaron Neville duets even more!
This is no-brainer CD piece for true Rondstadt fans. I also never knew she was such a gifted songwriter and behind-the-scenes musician.
Description of The Very Best of Linda Ronstadt
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
