Greatest Hits

Product Information

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. The CD reissue of the album was compiled with Ronstadt's second greatest hits collection and released by Rhino records in 2007 as Greatest Hits, Vol.

The second Top 10 hit from "Mad Love," an exhilarating oddity that found the singer and producer Peter Asher meeting New Wave on their own terms, this one peaked at No. 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. One of three hit singles from her "Mad Love" album, this one was originally done by Evie Sands but Ronstadt's version is much closer to the Hollies' 1966 recording. Lo Siento Mi Vida," which translates as "I'm Sorry, My Love," was Ronstadt's first songwriting credit. The Stone Poneys had planned to record an acoustic version of the song, but producer Nick Venet had other plans: the perfect chamber-pop arrangement — complete with a harpsichord solo!Widely considered her signature song, this melancholy ballad was co-written by Roy Orbison, who had a minor U. In a similar vein, she handled the Motown standard, "Heat Wave," like a pro, this time giving it the slightest hint of a country twang.

It opens with dramatic strings, pulling back to reveal an acoustic guitar and Ronstadt exercising pure restraint as sets the tone with a vulnerable reading of "Love will abide, take things in stride" before letting the full power of her voice be felt on "Sounds like good advice but there's no one at my side. Ronstadt's version appeared as the opening track on "Lush Life," her second collection of jazz standards recorded with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra. Lindo disco en color rojo, folder resistente y buena calidad en audio, aunque por el precio es logico que sea de 140gram. 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. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.Released as the flip side of "Tumbling Dice," her cover of a Rolling Stones song, "I Never Will Marry" became a Top 10 country hit in the summer of '78. This heartbreaking cheater's lament was originally done in 1967 by the great James Carr, who peaked at No. One of two Motown classics Ronstadt covered on "Prisoner in Disguise," her take on "Heat Wave" peaked at No. Either way, she manages to make the song her own without straying too far from the overall vibe of those earlier recordings just on the strength of her vocal.

Always eclectic, always tuneful, and, in the case of these dozen tracks, definitely chart-topping Ronstadt! Linda Ronstadt’s Greatest Hits reissued on black 180 gram vinyl with a special textured jacket for International Women’s History Month.Jimmie Haskell's tasteful string arrangement underscores the power and pathos of a vocal that stands as one of her more nuanced shows of force. Long before they got together on "Trio," Emmylou Harris turned up singing harmonies on this highlight of "Heart Like a Wheel," a melancholy take on a Hank Williams classic with pedal steel guitarist Sneaky Pete Kleinow underscoring the heartache. Linda Ronstadt's appeal crossed so many genre lines it's impossible to categorize her as anything other than a gifted vocalist. The opening verse is just her and a sleepwalking bass with a hint of percussion, the arrangement taking on more layers, from marimba and steel guitar to some really nice Don Henley backing vocals, as it goes.
