- 'Long, Long Time' Another baroque-pop ballad, this one has more gravitas than "Different Drum." It opens with dramatic strings, pulling back to reveal an acoustic guitar and Ronstadt exercising pure restraint, setting 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."
- 'Different Drum' This was the first we'd heard of Linda Ronstadt, a baroque-pop ballad written by Mike Nesmith of The Monkees. He was hoping his group would record it but the show's producers turned him down, although they allowed him to rush through a version as part of a comedy bit on the show.
- 'You're No Good' Ronstadt's initial reaction to Peter Asher's guitar-driven production on her first chart-topping single, as revealed in the Grammy-winning documentary, "Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice"?
- 'It Doesn't Matter Anymore' The most subdued of Ronstadt's Buddy Holly covers (this one written by Paul Anka) takes its cue from the despair in Anka's lyrics, not the skip in Holly's step on the original recording.

There's a reason Ronstadt chose this torch song first recorded by Bob Crosby and His Orchestra in 1939 as both the title track and lead single when she hit us with the first installment in a trilogy of albums exploring the Great American Songbook with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra. It's a stunning performance of a classic song that added new dimensio...
Ronstadt was among the biggest pop stars of the '70s, with three chart-topping albums and a string of Top 10 singles. But it wasn't until 1987 that she had the industry support to do her dream project, an album titled "Canciones de Mi Padre" honoring the Mexican side of her heritage with the support of Mariachi Vargas, Mariachi Los Camperos and Mar...
Doris Day released the first hit version of this song in 1952. Ronstadt's version appeared as the opening track on "Lush Life," her second collection of jazz standards recorded with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra. But there's nothing especially lush about Riddle's arrangement here. It opens with a lone guitarist accompanying Ronstadt's understated voc...
Ronstadt's future Trio partner Dolly Parton supplies unmistakably Parton-esque harmonies on this wonderfully sparse and beautiful rendition of a traditional ballad about a woman who vows she never will marry "for the only man I ever loved has gone on the morning train." She'd previously sung this song on Johnny Cash's TV show in 1969, trading vocal...
Years before she managed to convince the suits at Asylum to sign off on her "Canciones de Mi Padre" project, Ronstadt slipped this understated Spanish-language song into the mix on "Hasten Down the Wind." It's a Mexican folk ballad written by Ronstadt with her father, Gilbert Ronstadt, and former bandmate, Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards, who ...
This song was written by Lowell George while still a member of Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention and subsequently cut by George's own band, Little Feat, in a stark acoustic arrangement on their debut and again in a full-band arrangement on their second album, "Sailin' Shoes." Ronstadt's version splits the difference between those arrangements with...
One of two Motown classics Ronstadt covered on "Prisoner in Disguise," her take on "Heat Wave" peaked at No. 5 on Billboard's Hot 100, despite it being relegated to the B-side of "Love Is a Rose," a Neil Young song that plays more to the country side of her aesthetic. You can hear the debt to Martha Reeves, whose version topped the R&B charts, in t...
Bonnie Raitt's original recording of this melancholy torch song is an understated treasure. Ronstadt's take is more impassioned. She sings as though she's overwhelmed with what she's feeling, from the relative restraint of her delivery on "I've had bad dreams too many times to think that they don't mean much any more" to the full-on desperation she...
This heartbreaking cheater's lament was originally done in 1967 by the great James Carr, who peaked at No. 10 on Billboard's Hot Rhythm & Blues Singles charts with his gospel-tinged version. Many artists had recorded it, from Percy Sledge to the Flying Burrito Brothers and Aretha Franklin by the time it found its way to Ronstadt's first chart-toppi...
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." Even the version on 1969's "Hand Sown... Home Grown," with its oddly psychedelic fuzz-guitar lick, is closer to straight-up country, though, than country-rock. And the version on ...
A countdown of the best songs Linda Ronstadt has recorded through the years, from "Different Drum" to "Don't Know Much." The list covers her pop, country, rock, jazz and mariachi hits, as well as her collaborations with Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton and Nelson Riddle.

Linda Ronstadt is one of the top-selling female rock artists of all time, and a trailblazer in successfully testing the boundaries of popular music across Rock, Pop, Latin, Folk, Country, Jazz ...
Linda’s storied career was launched in the mid-1960s in Los Angeles, where she and two friends formed the Stone Poneys. Within a short time, they hopped on the Billboard charts with the 1967 hit “Different Drum,” and that song title has aptly described her musical journey. Linda Ronstadt was warned about torpedoing her career in 1980 when she’d had enough of life as “the Queen of ...
