Editorial Review: Album Description: The very best of Linda Ronstadt packs a single CD with 21 Ronstadt classics released by Capitol and Elektra/Asylum from 1967-1993. 2002. Amazon.com: Linda Ronstadt, who emerged from SoCal's vaunted early-'70s 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 favorites like Neil Young ("Love Is a Rose") in the bargain. As the formula waned with the changing tastes of the '80s, she briefly turned to new wave before stepping boldly back to the pop standards of the '30s, '40s, and '50s. Unfortunately, this collection inexplicably skips over that three-album collaboration with arranger-conductor Nelson Riddle, a body of work that presaged the 1990s' lounge-pop revival by a full decade--and outclassed it by miles. It also eschews a compelling contemporary Latin chapter of her career in favor of her winning collaborations with Aaron Neville ("Don't Know Much" and "All My Life") and less successful AC fodder like "Winter Light" and "Somewhere Out There" with James Ingram. A good primer to Ronstadt's immense vocal talents and recording history, but one that's flawed by some crucial missing chapters. --Jerry McCulley Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Excellent compilaton of country flavoured pop/rock. 85/100The compilation I bought recently by Ronstadt is quite similar to this one, so, I am guessing that maybe I have a newer compilation, or a different version of this cd was released in countries like Australia (my cd has the same title, but is listed as a remastered version, for 2002), where I live. My cd has 23 songs, two more than this one, and it is missing two songs from this compilation ("Love is a rose" and "Adios"). This compilation does not have 5 songs my compilation has ("After ...

(simply obnoxious to my ears and a waste of her voice). i had this album many years, and listen to it every once in a while...i just came here to get a replacement because mine got scratched. i always wondered why she recorded it...recently i read an interview with linda and she said she never really ...

Contains all the classics that Linda Ronstadt created. A must have for 70's music fans. Rating: - sing it some more LindaThis is the album to get if you must only buy one Linda Ronstadt album. Her voice is truly incredible and I can't think of anyone else who sings with such emotion. She really has a special voice. Constantly, she's giving us everything she has, and it's really an enjoyable experience getting the chance to hear that amazing voice of hers. Her talent especially shines through on songs like "Different Drum" and "Long Long Time". Those are two songs that floor me every time I hear them. The whole album ...
