Greatest Hits

Product Information

Always eclectic, always tuneful, and, in the case of these dozen tracks, definitely chart-topping Ronstadt! And she doesn't shy from its roots on the gospel side of the street, Cissy Houston joining in on backing vocals as the song builds to a soulful climax where Ronstadt warns, "They're gonna find us someday. This heartbreaking cheater's lament was originally done in 1967 by the great James Carr, who peaked at No.

It's a brilliant arrangement, building from an understated banjo introduction to that richly orchestrated bridge without overindulging in the sweetening.

What makes that chart position all the more impressive is that Holly's version, his final release at the helm of the Crickets, never even charted. The album was criticized by the Rolling Stone Record Guide for being "premature," as Ronstadt continued to have record-breaking mainstream successes for many years following this release. topped by Ronstadt vowing "All I'm sayin' is I'm not ready for any person, place or thing tryin' to pull the reins in on me" with total conviction. There's a video on YouTube of Ronstadt introducing this song — first recorded by the Queen of Rockabilly, Wanda Jackson — as "the first country-rock song I ever learned.

By the time this collection came out, however, Ronstadt had already been recording hit records (as a solo artist and with the Stone Poneys) for a decade, and there were many examples of other artists releasing greatest hits albums much sooner, such as Elvis Presley. It remains the biggest-selling album of Ronstadt's career, being certified seven times Platinum (over 7 million US copies shipped) by the Recording Industry Association of America [5] in America alone, with 1.But it wasn't until 1987 that she had the industry support to do her dream project, an album titled "Canciones de Mi Padre" honoring the Mexican side of her heritage with the support of Mariachi Vargas, Mariachi Los Camperos and Mariachi Los Galleros de Pedro Rey. Ronstadt's version splits the difference between those arrangements with prettier vocals and more feeling.

Lindo disco en color rojo, folder resistente y buena calidad en audio, aunque por el precio es logico que sea de 140gram. Although the track is credited to the Stone Poneys featuring Linda Ronstadt, she's the only member of the group that actually appears on the recording, which features future Eagle Bernie Leadon, session ace Jim Gordon and jazz bassist Jimmy Bond.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. This was the first we'd heard of Linda Ronstadt, a baroque-pop ballad written by Mike Nesmith of the Monkees. She enjoyed success on country and rock charts alike with a voice that capably handled the requirements of both styles. No "Mad Love" single felt more like an obvious attempt at carving out a spot for Linda Ronstadt in the punk and New Wave era than "How Do I Make You," an electrifying shot of pure adrenaline that announces its arrival with an overcaffeinated snare roll. Ronstadt's future Trio partner Dolly Parton supplies unmistakably Parton-esque harmonies on this wonderfully sparse and beautiful rendition of a traditional ballad about a woman who vows she never will marry "for the only man I ever loved has gone on the morning train.

It was written by Billy Steinberg, who has said it was "a little bit influenced" by "My Sharona," and it does feel like a Knack song, from the jagged New Wave accents to the frantic lead guitar break. This song was written by Lowell George while still a member of Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention and subsequently cut by George's own band, Little Feat, in a stark acoustic arrangement on their debut and again in a full-band arrangement on their second album, "Sailin' Shoes. They're just married to a brooding rock arrangement, an intriguing combination that made "You're No Good" her biggest mainstream hit since 1967's "Different Drum" hit No.This song, composed by mariachi great Ruben Fuentes, is among the many highlights of that double-platinum triumph, which became the biggest selling non-English language album in U. Which is to say it has the feel of an authentic rockabilly record, from the slapback of the echo to the twang of those guitar licks and the doo-wop flavor of those backing vocals.
