Great CD That's Has A Personal Meaning When my mother was dying of cancer, she asked me to make sure they played 'The Sweetest Gift' at her funeral. I used to have this on vinyl. It a duet with the great Emmy Lou Harris. Over 10 years has passed and the whole CD means more to me than you can imagine. I was fortune enough to see Linda Ronstadt in her 'Living In The USA' tour. To me she will always be a legend as well as an angel.
Classic California Sound
Four stars or five stars. . really doesn't matter. This album represents the best of the classic California sound of the mid-to-late 70's. Linda's cover selection of songs and studio band, which includes Andrew Gold, is flawless. The lesser known title cut alone is worth the price of admission. I have missed this album. .
One of Linda Ronstadt's Best
I had bought the cassette back in 1975 and wore it out. This album is by far one of Linda Ronstadt's best. Was glad to see it on CD. It was good to hear the songs again. Good songs that will move you.
Still the best female singer that ever was
There's been a recent blast of "hub bub" about Annie Lennox doing a version of "Many Rivers To Cross". Her version of "I Will Always Love You" is miles ahead
of Whitney Houston's, which is over-sung, shrill, and grating by comparison. Again, she's no match for Ronstadt's version on this album.
Cap it off with a couple of great radio-ready hits, and some excellent ballads and superb female/male delicate duets like "Prisoner In Disguise" and you'll be hard pressed to find a better country rock album anywhere.
More covers - great album
. Ronstadt always picks great cover songs to sprinkle in along with originals and this album does not disappoint.
