Reissue of Ronstadt's 1971 and third solo album. The album features session musicians who later went on to form The Eagles. Includes covers of Jackson Browne, Neil Young, Johnny Cash and Woody Guthrie. Capitol.
Personnel: Linda Ronstadt (vocals); Glenn Frey, Richard Bowden, Tippy Armstrong, Bernie Leadon (guitar); John Boylan (acoustic guitar); Herb Pedersen, Sneaky Pete Kleinow, Weldon Myrick, Buddy Emmons (steel guitar); Dean Webb (mandolin); Gib Guilbeau (fiddle); Jimmie Fadden (harmonica); Barry Beckett (keyboards); David Hood, Lyle Ritz, Randy Meisner, Mike Bowden (bass instrument); Don Henley, Roger Hawkins (drums); J.D. Souther, Merry Clayton (background vocals).
Linda Ronstadt's self-titled third album captured the singer moving away from the rootsier charms of her first two albums, toward a more polished take on country-rock. Supported by the Eagles throughout the record, Ronstadt turns in a strong performance, aided by a fine selection of material, including "Rock Me on the Water," "Crazy Arms," "I Still Miss Someone," and "I Fall to Pieces." ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
This 1971 album--the third solo outing by the former Stone Poneys vocalist (the Stone Poneys scored a big hit with Mike Nesmith's "Different Drum" in 1967)--established Linda Ronstadt as one of the leading lights of the West Coast country-rock scene of the early '70s. Given sympathetic accompaniment by musicians like pedal steel guitarist Sneaky Pete and future Eagles Glen Frey, Bernie Leadon, Randy Meisner, and Don Henley, Ronstadt's rich, expressive voice works wonders on this fine collection of folk-influenced country-rock.
Capturing the same laid-back, cosmic country feel as the Flying Burrito Brothers, Emmylou Harris, and the early Eagles, Ronstadt takes songs like Jackson Browne's "Rock Me On The Water," Neil Young's "Birds," Eric Andersen's "I Ain't Always Been Faithful," and country standards like "I Fall To Pieces," and makes them her own. Though she would go on to become one of the biggest rock stars of the decade, she would rarely make music that was as honest, heartfelt or satisfying as that on LINDA RONSTADT.

Featuring a broader array of styles than any previous Linda Ronstadt record, Simple Dreams reconfirms her substantial talents as an interpretive singer. Ronstadt sings Dolly Parton ("I Never Will Marry") with the same conviction as the Rolling Stones ("Tumbling Dice"), and she manages to update Roy Orbison ("Blue Bayou") and direct attention to the caustic, fledgling singer/songwriter Warren Zevon ("Poor Poor Pitiful Me" and "Carmelita"). The consistently adventurous material and Ronstadt's powerful performance makes the record rival Heart Like a Wheel in sheer overall quality. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
This was the fourth in a series of hit albums Linda Ronstadt made in the mid-seventies, starting with HEART LIKE A WHEEL. Like its predecessors, SIMPLE DREAMS is a rich collection of pensive folk ballads, pop with country leanings, and good old rock & roll. Her skill in navigating this rootsy terrain is exemplary, taking her from the swagger of her cover of The Rolling Stones' "Tumbling Dice" to the sweet whisperings of the acoustic "Maybe I'm Right." This record also features some of her most enduringly popular hits, such as "Blue Bayou" and "Poor Poor Pitiful Me."
The rousing opening track, Buddy Holly's "It's So Easy" featuring her trademark growl, along with "Tumbling Dice" and the playful "Poor Poor Pititul Me," give the record moments of electrifying energy. It's the ballad

On Living in the U.S.A., Linda Ronstadt decided to incorporate some then current musical trends such as new wave into her successful formula. While some of the record sounds good, the majority of it doesn't always click, particularly her take on Elvis Costello's "Alison." ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Recorded at The Sound Factory, Los Angeles, California. Originally released on Capitol.
Following the same formula as her early records, Heart Like a Wheel doesn't appear to be a great breakthrough on the surface. However, Ronstadt comes into her own on this mix of oldies and contemporary classics. Backed by a fleet of Los Angeles musicians, Ronstadt sings with vigor and passion, helping bring the music alive. But what really makes Heart ...

Linda Ronstadt
$11.59 
CD debut of the couple's second album, first released in 1966 on Atco. Features the original artwork, new liner notes & three bonus tracks: Sonny's solo hit 'The Revolution Kind', plus the top 50 'Have I Stayed Too Long' & the previously unreleased 'Crying Time'. 15 tracks total, also featuring the top 10 'Laugh At Me' & the top 20 'But You're Mine'. 1998 Sundazed release. The full title is 'The Wondrous World Of Sonny And Cher'.
Personnel: Sonny Bono, Cher (vocals).
Audio Mixer: Bob Irwin.
Liner Note Authors: Jud Cost; Sonny & Cher.
Arranger: Sonny Bono.
Listening to Sonny & Cher's second album, it's difficult to conceive of how they could have been called rebellious, or even categorized as folk-rock. It's pleasant Spectorian mid-'60s pop-rock (heavy on the bells and glockenspiel especially), overburdened by the surfeit of cover versions that are the telltale sign of a rush job. At any rate, their taste in cover material was eclectic and for the most part good: the Exciters' "Tell Him," and the Zombies obscurity "Leave Me Be," the minor Kinks hit "Set Me Free," and "Bring It On Home to Me," along with more MOR items like "What Now My Love" and "Summertime."

Linda Ronstadt
$10.69
Personnel: Matthew Ryan (vocals, various instruments, guitar, strings, piano, keyboards, string synthesizer, drum machine, electronic drums, cymbals); Elizabeth (spoken vocals); David Henry (guitar, cello); Brian Bequette (guitar, bass guitar, background vocals); Neilson Hubbard (acoustic guitar, piano, organ, keyboards, bass synthesizer, string synthesizer, loops, background vocals); Molly Thomas (piano); Billy Mercer, Clay Steakley (bass guitar); Steve Latanation, Mark Pisapia (drums); Kate York, Garrison Starr (background vocals).
Prolific alt-country singer-songwriter Matthew Ryan returns with the solid FROM A LATE NIGHT HIGH RISE. Ryan's trademark character sketches are delivered in a world-weary but affecting croon, like a cross between Tom Waits and John Hiatt. Particular highlights of this indie gem include the dryly witty opener "Follow the Leader" and the more rock-oriented "Love is the Silencer."
On From a Late Night High Rise, Matthew Ryan continues the folk-tronica explorations that he experimented with on his previous outing Regret Over the Wires. This disc opens with some eerie electronic whirls before a fragile sounding piano introduces "Follow the Leader." The haunting soundscape matches the song's sense of dislocation as Ryan raspily intones: "If you ever really wanna get lost/Then follow me." The entire album finds Ryan chasing ghosts, the past, and missed opportunities. These songs grew out of two tragic events: the death of a close friend and the imprisonment of his brother. His grappling with grief can be heard throughout this soul-searching album. In the spare yet harrowing "Gone for Good," he tries to face the fact that he'll never see again someone who was close to him. The title of "Everybody Always Leaves" lays bare his feeling of abandonment while in "All Lit Up," he states: "I needed a spark/I needed it bad." Even when Ryan turns political, the song still feels deeply personal. "Babybird" offers a stinging indictment of consumer culture ("Martin Luther King and the Liberty Bell/Versus a Super Bowl ring of artifacts of hell") but it's balanced by his closing lines ("And if you wake up scared/I hope you're not alone"). What saves this disc from wallowing irretrievably in depression are the arrangements. "Everybody Always Leaves" moves along to some blippy synth beats while its bridge evokes "Lost in the Supermarket" ...
