Few artists approach their work with the grace and dignity
of Linda Ronstadt. For more than four decades, and through
some 32 albums, she has remained one of the most beloved
singers of our generation. Her career is a virtual
testament to the idea that nothing quite lifts the human
spirit like a good song. With an impresario's ear, and a
voice that still resonates with a haunting gift-like
quality, she's crossed all genres, always defying
expectations as to what a pop record should be.
"What I've always done is set myself in a traditional genre
and tried to be completely faithful to what the genre
demands," says Ronstadt. Whether it be rock, country, pop,
or stylistic ventures in big band music, jazz, opera,
Broadway standards or Mexican and Afro-Cuban music, More...
Review about Linda Ronstadt J.P. | Reviewer: J.P.
------ About artist/band Linda Ronstadt
I am very disappointed by Linda Ronstadt now. She was my idol growing up but not anymore. It's one thing to care about homosexuals and feel bad for them. I do to. I am a Christian and Jesus wants us to love everybody. He want us to love the sinner, not the sin. Linda needs salvation. She is a lost soul. She is caught up in worldliness. There are Christian singers out there who have said they have come out of that lifestyle and after walking with a personal relationship with Jesus, don't desire the same sex anymore. That is proof that that lifestyle is wrong and can be changed, just like adultery is wrong, or someone hooked on drugs. She is promoting a sinful lifestyle. God gave her the talent she has. Donnie McClurken was gay and is straight now. He is a Christian singer. J. P.
I have been your fan since I was a teenager when you started to sing you are no good I have two cassetes of you and some long plays, you have a really beautiful voice and a beautiful mouth you were (and still you are) my impossible love.
With allmy respects Ms Rondstadt I admire you very much and I would like to shake hands one day.
what happened to her? | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About artist/band Linda Ronstadt
Its a low down shame to see what has happened to Ronstadt. I know she is like 63 now. But she could still be thin and beautiful if she tried. There is a lot of history to her. And she could still be very inspiring as a modern day figure if she would just try to be. The 70s and 80s are much better than today. But this could change if our older generation would not give up on our kids. My daughter loves watching and hearing Linda of the past. All kids want to mirror what is beautiful. Linda is all covered up by carelessness. Put down the burger and be who you are!!
I have been a fan of Linda Ronstadt's music for a very long time. She is one of the best singers who ever recorded songs. She also is a beautiful lady.
I once saw her on television in a performance with Rosemary Clooney (another of my favorites) and they were GREAT together. I hope Ms. Ronstadt never stops singing.

------ About the song Blue Bayou performed by Linda Ronstadt
song is evocative of looking back to a happy sweet time and I love Linda Ronstadt! and it has bit of punch drink pina colado or pineappletini or something, push feet in warm sand, beautiful off white blush color sand, gently waving palms, hat slid down 1/2 over face pillows along back and arms and Linda signing this song while i peak at the bright blue of the sea and the twinkle of sunlight on the waves and watch from a quiet distance the surfers, catamarrans, boats, swimmers, fisherman scattered across the horizon..
Dear Ms. Ronstadt,
I am a 47 year old mother of 3 and have been singing since I was in grade school. I have loved your music for as long as I can remember. When your Spanish album was released, I enjoyed it immensely. I have performed locally on stage with the C.C. Symphony and am currently singing at the C.C.Cathedral(20 plus years) My choir director, Lee Gwozdz,arranges annual concerts where I have performed several selections from the Phantom of the Opera. I feel that our city needs to have your Canciones revived. I want to help make that a reality. It would be a dream come true if you could mentor me. I have a gift, I need work, I lack in stage presence, and I'm a bit overweight. You can see what I mean on YouTube-Jurame. Seline Smith with the CCChorale Artists. I actually looked ridiculous in my movements. Please just view it and tell me if you think I should try to perform your beautiful music. I feel an itch, I just need help. I teach and have three children; 16, 15, and 12. Please just view it.
Sincerest Wishes,
Seline
Spelling... | Reviewer: Oscar
------ About the song La Charreada performed by Linda Ronstadt
In the following line:
"Ya....comenso el jaripeo la gente aplaude con emocion", the word "comenso" is written with "z", I mean, "comenzo" due to the verb is "comenzar".
In the line:
"Y un...toro viene rodeado muy bien coleado por Don Abor"
As far as I know, there is not such name... as per my own perception the correct word is "Nabor". Nabor is a name that exists... by the way, I have a friend with that name.
I hope my comments are useful to you.
Best regards!!!
A tender and splendid farewell song | Reviewer: Greg Glynn
------ About the song Goodbye My Friend performed by Linda Ronstadt
Linda Ronstadt gives a stirring and beautiful performance with "Goodbye My Friend". When you listen to the lyrics, you might agree that this is a good candidate to play at a funeral for a loved one. The final lyrics "You can go now, Goodbye my friend" are perfect.
I have finally (after 30 years )discovered the lyrics to this song .I have always loved it but could never make out what came after "it might be the colour of....." Thank you so much cannot begin to tell you what it means to me
Like a painted picture | Reviewer: Rosie Chavez
------ About the song Adónde Voy performed by Linda Ronstadt
This song is like a painted picture when i listen to it i see the man running thru the mountain range or dessert as the case may be.
Such a saddness, but in a realistic way. The first time I heard it I vried like a baby it was as if I were living the situation myself.
This song is such a wondeful work of art thank God for Miss Ronstadt!
This is a wonderful album and I have find that the second album to be just as great (Mas Canciones de Mi Padre). I have hoped that there would be another album, I have Linda's greatest hits one and two, I wonder what happen to her too, it would be nice if she would come up with another album, Linda Ronstadt can sing in Spanish, Rock & country-her voice is a jewel for any type of music...

a lonely heart in meditation-that is about Perfidia | Reviewer: Martha Guevara
------ About the song Perfidia performed by Linda Ronstadt
The third line must say: Alone, trembling with... This align with the fourth verso: To what do I want OTHER kisses for? if your lips no longer.....
The author paint a lonely man in sorrow. If he says your kisses will be abrasive offending the sensibility of a woman, which would sound bad, a little word can change the meaning of an expression. I hope you agree.

------ About the song Icy Blue Heart performed by Linda Ronstadt
Hey, thanks for getting that right: it's the GUY who has to say, "What do you want?" not HER as is printed in other lyric transcriptions. Great song, huh?
You just can't beat the combination of Jimmy Webb's writing and Linda Ronstadt's astounding voice-this song evokes bittersweet images of love lost like few, if any others.
STAND UP AND SAY YOUR SOUL IS YOUR OWN | Reviewer: Greg Sinner
------ About the song Different Drum performed by Linda Ronstadt
DIFFERENT DRUM BY LINDA RONSTADT IN THE LATEST BEN AFFLECK FLICK WILL TOUCH YOU I HOPE IN WAYS IT HAS TOUCHED MY LIFE. SOMETIMES THE CHURCH'S GRINDING ON THE GREAT WHORE IS QUESTIONABLE TO SAY THE LEAST. ANNE GAYLOR PUT IT "WOE TO WOMAN-THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO." WOMEN'S LIVES GO BEYOND THE REALM OF WOMEN'S ISSUES AND INTO SOMETHING LIKE BIGGER THOMAS ONLY THE CATCH IS FOR WOMEN OF ALL KINDS IT IS RELENTLESS. IT IS OF NO WONDER TO ME THERE ARE THINGS LIKE THE ELLEN JAMES SOCIETY WHEN I HEAR THIS SONG AND THINK OF HOW ONCE OUR SOCIETY COULD ACHIEVE HONOR FOR WOMEN AND THEIR RIGHTS TO THEIR BODIES AND THEIR OWN LIVES AND THE RIGHT TO HAVE THEIR OWN INCRIMINATING BEHAVIOUR BE IT AS MOTHER, SISTER, OR DAUGHTER. I MEAN HAVEN'T WE HAD ENOUGH WAR YET AND LETTING OUR COUNTRY HAVE JUST A GUILTY CONSCIENCE ABOUT THE VIETNAM WAR. CAN WE STOP ASKING WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THE POOR AND FOCUS ON WOMEN AND CHILDREN AND GAYS AND LESBIANS? WHAT HAPPENS TO THEM? IS IT JUST A MORNING AFTER PILL THAT THEIR PRESENCE IS? SHOULDN'T IT TAKE A WHOLE VILLAGE?

Canciones de mi Padre | Reviewer: Unclbob
------ About the album Canciones de mi Padre performed by Linda Ronstadt
Have not heard Ms Ronstadt for years and quite by accident ran across this wonderful album thanks to my son. He heard it and raved about it. After hearing it a number of times I wonder what happened tio miss L. I am sure that me being out of touch for gads 20 years is my loss. This is a wonderful album. Quite nice to listen to music that does not assult you but gently brings you along for the musical ride.
