Ever the chameleon, Linda Ronstadt has continued to progress, evolve, and experiment throughout her multi-decade career. From folk-rock frontwoman to California-rock solo smash, to new wave belter to standards songstress, Ronstadt has never rested on her laurels.
Ronstadt began her career as a Stone Poney, and the band's Top 20 hit "A Different Drum" is included here. Linda's Eagles-inspired hit "When Will I Be Loved" is one of many fine cover tunes in the set. Linda gets tender on "Blue Bayou" and soulful on "Hurt So Bad." After closing out her rock era with the energetic "Get Closer," Linda starred in PIRATES OF PENZANCE, which inspired her to record three albums with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra. Ronstadt superbly interprets "What's New" and "My Funny Valentine." An entire disc is devoted to Ronstadt's duets, such as "Somewhere Out There" (with James Ingram) and "Don't Know Much" (with Aaron Neville). The final disc contains rarities such as a cover of the Rolling Stones' "Tumbling Dice" (from the FM soundtrack) and "All I Have To Do Is Dream" (with Kermit the Frog). The range of previously unreleased material on BOX SET makes it an ideal companion to her GREATEST HITS.
Industry Reviews
...four discs hardly seem like enough space to contain [Ronstadt's career]... - Rating: A-
