Abandoning California for Nashville, Linda Ronstadt does take a stab at relatively straight-ahead country on her second album, Silk Purse. She’s changed location and producers — Elliot Mazer, who’d later be Neil Young’s right-hand man for archival projects, helmed this — but she hasn’t quite thrown herself into the maelstrom of Music City here. Many of the soft, flowery flourishes of Hand Sown…Home Grown have been traded in for steel guitars and echoing acoustics, a move that definitely reads country, but Ronstadt’s sensibility remains rooted on the West Coast, favoring great emerging songwriters and revived, reworked versions of classics. Only a couple of these are classic country, however — just Hank Williams’ “Lovesick Blues” and Mel Tillis’ “Mental Revenge,” which are balanced by Goffin/King’s “Will You Love Me Tomorrow” and “I’m Leaving It All Up to You,” R&B hits given nice country rearrangements (the latter in particular feels suited to its new barroom rendition). These rearrangements, alongside covers of Gene Clark & Bernie Leadon’s “He Darked the Sun” and Paul Siebel’s “Louise,” suggest that Ronstadt’s sensibility is a bit more cosmopolitan than country, but that’s the great thing about Silk Purse: perhaps she didn’t find her voice, not in the way she would a year later on her eponymous record, but this Nashville excursion had a clarifying effect, whittling down the musical excesses and strengthening her aesthetic while winding up a nifty little record in its own right. – Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Billed as Linda Ronstadt’s first-ever live album, 2019’s Live in Hollywood captures highlights from an April 24, 1980 concert previously aired on HBO in 1980. Live in Hollywood doesn’t match the set list of the HBO special. Instead, Ronstadt selected 12 performances from the 20-song concert, nine of which didn’t make the air back in 1980. Generally, the songs selected for Live in Hollywood avoid the new wave elements that characterized Mad Love, the 1980 album Ronstadt was promoting at the time — the propulsive “How Do I Make You” and “I Can’t Let Go” made the cut, but the title track and Elvis Costello cover “Party Girl” were left behind — but there are certainly elements that date the performance to 1980, particularly the synth drum pinging in the background. Set such period accoutrements aside, and the album glides by with the skill and ease of seasoned SoCal professionals, and Ronstadt stands at the center of it all as a compelling presence. These 12 tracks casually illustrate her facility with both soft rock and old-time rock & roll, and if the set list leans heavily on oldies, the combination of guts and polish makes her renditions memorable. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

As perhaps should be expected from a double-disc collection bearing 30 tracks, Just One Look: Classic Linda Ronstadt does indeed cover most of Ronstadt’s career, beginning with the Stone Poneys’ “Different Drum” and running into the late ’90s, when she wrapped up her time with Elektra Records. This doesn’t mean each era gets equal weight, however. Just One Look emphasizes her latter-day adult contemporary material over her cracking early country-rock, a trade-off that will likely satisfy listeners familiar with Ronstadt mainly through the radio. This does mean there are some terrific works left behind her big breakthrough “You’re No Good” comes just six songs into this collection, so anything prior to that gets short shrift, but this settles into a good soft rock groove and should satisfy a listener who wants nothing but hits, and a lot of them at that.

SACD Hybrid reissue release from Linda Ronstadt. Features 2.0 Stereo and 5.1 multichannel surround.

Instead of trying to compete with a newer, fashion-conscious pop marketplace, Linda Ronstadt removed herself from the rat race, recording an album of traditional pop standards with Nelson Riddle. Ronstadt’s voice isn’t always showcased to a fine effect on these songs, but the record is an interesting change of pace. And it would have been more interesting if she hadn’t repeated its formula on her next two records.
