160g Vinyl LP Reissue Of Grammy Winning 1974 Album!
A gorgeously arranged and beautifully sung record, featuring performances by J.D. Souther, Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Tim Schmidt, Emmylou Harris (a frequent collaborator with Ronstadt), Maria Muldaur, Kenny Edwards and Andrew Gold.
"There's no way that I can be objective and say one album is better than another," Ronstadt told Rolling Stone in 1978. "I never listen to them anyway." But millions of other people did, especially to this record, where she displays her vocal flexibility and rock grit on "You're No Good" and a country twang on a cover of Hank Williams Sr.'s "I Can't Help It (If I'm Still in Love With You)." Collaborating with producer Peter Asher, Ronstadt blends quality oldies (the Everly Brothers' "When Will I Be Loved?") and hip songwriters of her era (Lowell George, Anna McGarrigle), gracing each composition with her golden voice." - www.rollingstone.com
"So very SoCal (her band became the ÂEagles), Ronstadt was more empathetic interpreter than songwriter. But she could knock out a pop song... (like) "Long Long Time," where she sounds like a girl next door with a voice that can peel chrome." - rollingstone.com
