Newly Remastered & Pressed On 180g Vinyl LP & 7" 45rpm Vinyl!
Celebrate the 40th anniversary of Linda Ronstadt's 8th studio album, Simple Dreams, with this newly remastered Simple Dreams on LP plus a 7" 45rpm Vinyl disc containing three live recordings from a 1980 HBO concert special which have never been released as stand-alone audio.
With roots in the Los Angeles country and folk-rock scenes, Linda Ronstadt became one of the most popular interpretive singers of the '70s, earning a string of platinum-selling albums and Top 40 singles. Throughout the '70s, her laid-back pop never lost sight of her folky roots, yet as she moved into the '80s, she began to change her sound with the times, adding new wave influences. After a brief flirtation with pre-rock pop, Ronstadt settled into a pattern of adult contemporary pop and Latin albums, sustaining her popularity in both fields.
Simple Dreams(1977) added a more rock-oriented supporting band, which breathed life into the Rolling Stones' "Tumbling Dice" and Warren Zevon's "Poor Poor Pitiful Me." The record became the singer's biggest hit, staying on the top of the charts for five weeks.
