good However, there were only about 2 songs that I liked. I really enjoy listening to all of the artists on the Cd. .
Classic
The three voices are each beautiful in their own right and put together are just lovely. This is a great album that I had not listened to in a while. The arrangements are wonderful, especially on "Memories". Dolly Parton shines, which is saying a lot considering the other two are such superstars. Really special.
Silkspun Rainbow
Like Joni Mitchell. Peripheral memories of the 70s, Linda Ronstadt on the radio, either I snapped it off impatiently or endured the wait, those songs were if nothing else real short, anticipating something cooler. Ronstadt was gleaming Top 40, reconstituted jukebox, clinical and calculated, pleasant to a fault. The proof was inside the jacket of 'Simple Dreams,' the album featuring "Tumbling Dice," with Ronstadt and her band, ostensibly on tour, and there's a bottle of Jose Gold ~ unopened. Did her version of the Stones' classic ever sound sober. Fast forward to the 80s, now the problem with the Stones was they obviously spent the 70s drinking too much, their records sucked, meanwhile Ronstadt got a rapport on with Nelson Riddle and delivered three grand slams of pure unironic art. Something to be said for sobriety, especially if it's going to be a long run. And inadvertent genius of "Different Drum" aside, Ronstadt turned out to be a long run artist. Second only to Peggy Lee. So here's 'Trio,' recorded during Ronstadt's other trilogy, and at the time most folks said, wow, Dolly Parton, she's awesome. "Wildflowers" is, like, the best McCartney tune since the Fabs. Dulcimer does charm. For me, the big deal is the quintessential Ronstadt performances, "Telling Me Lies" and "I've Had Enough. " Song selection, incredible. Arrangements, breathtaking. Vocals, perfection. Technical perfection. Emotional perfection. Now I go back to her earlier stuff, what I "endured" in the 70s and I can hear it, an artist in search of repertoire, each step steady and surer. Ronstadt is the ultimate boomer singer, I think. Dolly may have the better dress ~ red is always more ~ but look in the middle, plenty taller.
"trio" with Dolly Parton, et al
But, that said, at least I can hear the song! The song I give 5 stars, the quality of the CD, barely 3 stars. I bought this CD for the song "Wildflowers" which I love! However, the "remastering" of this older CD/song leaves much to be desired.
Flawless album
