You hear the song, the performance does not dominate, like it did on so many early Costello records.Īnd there’s not a bum note on “Mad Love,” I love it. One of three on “Mad Love.” And Linda’s rendition is far from sacrilegious. I learned to love “Look Out For My Love” via Ronstadt, even though I heard Neil’s version first. Yup, one album, with a sound no one expects, can do that for you.īut unlike with “Justine” above, “Look Out For My Love” rocks harder than the writer’s version. Young did right thereafter, with “Rust Never Sleeps,” ensuring he truly never faded away. Yes, the Neil Young song from his comeback album “Comes A Time” that really didn’t achieve its goal, which was to recapture the magic of “Harvest.” You can never go back, you can only go forward.
#Linda ronstadt hasten down the wind listen how to#
Yes, Ronstadt looked like a dish, but not only did she have a pure instrument, she knew how to use it! Not long hereafter she morphed into a Broadway star, the oldsters’ favorite, but this is pure rock and roll, everything Grace Potter is trying to do but is unable to achieve. Goldenberg emotes from deep down in his soul, he’s got something to say and damn you’re gonna listen, whereas Ronstadt is manipulating you! She’s doing little tricks with her voice and making the lyrics come alive.
That does not mean Ronstadt’s version is not top-notch and special in its own way. Not on Spotify, but you can listen here: The Cretones- Justine Written by Mark Goldenberg and ultimately done better by his band the Cretones
The album seen as a sell-out back then and completely forgotten today is Ronstadt stripped raw and gone punk and if you don’t like it I don’t care.
