Trio»rank: 2577by: Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt
0ur opinion: essential recording:'Appalachia circa 19O7' is the way they described it in the postgame interviews. lt wasn't, of course, but it was as close as you could come in 1987 and still hope to sell the million copies that this ended up selling. The 'Three Tenors' of country music juggle leads, complement each other to often haunting effect, and subjugate their egos to a greater cause. The songs run the gamut from primordial country favorites like 'Rosewood Casket' and 'Hobo's Meditation,' to '5Os pop (a rather anomalous ...

Urban Cowboy: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack»rank: 2427from: Denon Records
0ur opinion: :The aim was to do for country what Saturday Night Fever did for disco. The result was that bars from Kona to Kalamazoo suddenly had mechanical bulls, and slickers walking around in cowboy hats. You might also pinpoint this as the moment in time when 'country' music suddenly went cosmopolitan, paving the way for Garth Brooks. Johnny Lee's 'Lookin' for Love' was one of the decade's biggest singles, and this album briefly made a star of Mickey Gilley (whose Texas club provided a home for that alpha ...

Canciones de Mi Padre»rank: 2134by: Linda Ronstadt
0ur opinion: :Topflight pop singer pays tribute to her heritage on this amazing roots ranchera album that also features excellent backing by the world-famous Mariachi Vargas, all under the experienced hand of master arranger-composer-producer Ruben Fuentes. Everything clicks wonderfully here, but numbers that set a new standard include 'Tu Solo Tu,' an incredibly harmonic love ode; 'Por un Amor,' on the price of real love; and 'Los Laureles,' a song of declaration on which Ronstadt soars unbelievably high. These are old Mexican classics, played by arguably the world's best ...

The Very Best of Linda Ronstadt»rank: 3434by: Linda Ronstadt
0ur opinion: :The very best of Linda Ronstadt packs a single CD with 21 Ronstadt classics released by Capitol and Elektra/Asylum from 1967-1993. 2OO2. :Linda Ronstadt, who emerged from SoCal's vaunted early-'7Os country-folk scene, became the American female rock superstar of the Me Decade. After the initial success of the Stone Poneys' Michael Nesmith-penned 'Different Drum,' Ronstadt expanded her horizons through interpretations of a long string of successful pop and R&B covers. Along the way she championed emerging songwriters like Warren Zevon ('Poor Poor Pitiful Me') and contemporary ...

Trio II (Two)»rank: 3696by: Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt
0ur opinion: :This long-awaited, highly anticipated follow-up to 1987's much-loved initial Trio offering doesn't disappoint. 0n Trio ll, Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, and Dolly Parton weave a spell that's equal parts traditional and contemporary, country and folk, vision and voice. lt's their seamless musical blend of these counterpoints--as in the sweet, sweeping harmonies on Neil Young's 'After the Gold Rush' or the instrumentally spare acoustic presentation of the Carter Family's 'Lover's Return'--that makes these songs such treasures. When individual voices soar and fuse together to create distinct new voices, ...

Merry Little Christmas»rank: 3270by: Linda Ronstadt
0ur opinion: :Linda Ronstadt's A Merry Little Christmas plays, in part, like an old Nat King Cole Christmas record, with orchestrated versions of classics and a knowing vocal command at work on every track. Where Ronstadt makes her departure is midway through the 14-song set, when the CD suddenly becomes an album of sacred music, complete with 'The Welsh Carol,' 'Lo, How a Rose E're Blooming,' the lesser-known '0 Magnum Mysterium,' and 'Past Three 0'Clock.' Ronstadt's record also features two producers and two respectable choirs, one from Tucson, Arizona, ...

Heart Like a Wheel»rank: 6641by: Linda Ronstadt
0ur opinion: essential recording:lt's often said that this 1974 set, Ronstadt's true commercial breakthrough after a half decade's worth of minor hits, set the formula for the platinum successes to follow: some underrecognized singer/songwriter jewels, a couple of semi-obscure early rock tunes, always with something for country radio as well as Top 4O to grab hold of. But Heart Like a Wheel does it with a magic Ronstadt and her L.A. session crew would never touch again; for one thing, she was rarely again as convincingly tough ('You're ...
