Compilation Review:
A decade of pure artistry unfolds in this stunning second volume of Linda Ronstadt Anthology, capturing her golden years from 1973 to 1983. This collection showcases Linda’s rare television appearances, concert performances, and official videos — an essential document of her evolution from a rising country-rock singer to one of the defining voices of the 1970s and early ’80s.
Highlights include breathtaking collaborations with The Eagles, Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton, Randy Newman, and Smokey Robinson, each one revealing her remarkable versatility. From the country warmth of Love Has No Pride and Willin’, to the rock power of You’re No Good and It’s So Easy, to the soulful tenderness of Ooh Baby Baby, every performance brims with emotional clarity and technical mastery.
The restoration and 2024 stereo remixes bring new life to these timeless moments — whether she’s singing on The Midnight Special, rocking Rockpalast in Germany, or melting hearts on The Muppet Show. Linda’s range, control, and sheer sincerity remind the listener why she remains a benchmark for vocal excellence.
