Linda Ronstadt - Hasten Down The Wind flac album

Hasten Down the Wind is the Grammy Award-winning seventh studio album by oducer Linda Ronstadt. Released in 1976, it became her third straight million-selling album. Ronstadt was the first female artist in history to accomplish this feat. The album earned her a Grammy Award for 'Best Pop Vocal Performance - Female' in 1977, her second of 13 Grammys

Again, Linda Ronstadt repeats her slick, Californian pop/country-rock formula on Hasten Down the Wind. When the material is first-rate - such as "That'll Be the Day" or "Crazy" - Ronstadt's performances are terrific, but on the subpar songs - such as the three Karla Bonoff numbers - she's dragged down with her material.

HASTEN DOWN THE WIND is a triumph for Ronstadt from beginning to end. It follows PRISONER IN DISGUISE and runs circles around that album which many considered the best of her career. For me, it is this one. Ronstadt has always been a superb interpreter of the true emotional experience in a song and HASTEN could easily be considered a concept album. It follows the raw and heartwrenching emotions involved in longing for love and trying to let go of lost love. Linda Ronstadt is in fine voice on this album and the sound does full justice to the recordings. Enjoyable from first cut to last. Linda Ronstadt is probably the best female ballad singer since Jo Stafford. A thoroughly enjoyable album throughout.

This is Linda Ronstadt’s tenth album (including the three made with her first group, the Stone Poneys). While it is certainly not in a league with her masterpiece, Heart like a Wheel (and I’m beginning to believe its perfection occurs but once in an artist’s career), Hasten down the Wind is nonetheless representative of Ronstadt redivivus, of Ronstadt, the sensitive, introspective stirring we have admired all these years. No amount of sweetening can rescue lyrics as inane as That’s the paradox of I love you or If your baby loves you right/You can have skyrockets any old night. A rock & roll bridge has been punched up, which only makes things worse by forcing a scream from Ronstadt as she tries to move up the scale. Worse still, one verse of an immaculately beautiful reggae song, Rivers of Babylon, is ruined by being used as a prelude to Give One Heart. Otherwise the album is in good shape.
