STUNNING 1973 BROADCAST RECORDING FROM A YOUNG LINDA RONSTADT
This superb late ‘73 live radio broadcast, from the renowned Record Plant recording facility based in Sausalito, California, highlights some of the very best material that Linda Ronstadt performed during the first few vital years of her solo career. • During this period Linda used Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner of The Eagles either in the studio or as members of her live backing band. A version of ‘Nightingale’, then an unreleased Jackson Browne number although included on The Eagles debut album, is featured here. • Ronstadt’s Don’t Cry Now (1973), her first album for Asylum Records, was released just two months prior to this recording. It was her most successful to date, spending more than a year on the Billboard album chart and peaking at number 45. • Although not released until a year after this show, her Heart Like A Wheel follow-up is represented at this show by four cuts: ‘I Can’t Help It’ (If I’m Still In Love With You), ‘It Doesn’t Matter Any More’ (previously a hit for Buddy Holly), soul classic ‘Dark End Of The Street’ and ‘You’re No Good’
