#Linda ronstadt hasten down the wind discogs series
As if things couldn’t get any less pitiful, Linda was asked to sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” at the opening game of the 1976 World Series at Dodger Stadium. “Blue Bayou”, “It’s So Easy” and “Poor Poor Pitiful Me” all charted. Hasten Down the Wind became her third platinum album in a row and won a Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Female. Prisoner in Disguise reached #4 the following year and produced pop and country hits with “Heat Wave” and “Love is a Rose”, respectively. ” I Can’t Help It (If I’m Still In Love With You)” won a Grammy for Best Country Vocal Performance by a Female. ” When Will I Be Loved” went to #1 on the country chart. ” You’re No Good” went to #1 on the pop chart. It was her fifth solo album, Heart Like A Wheel (1975) that put her over the top, reaching #1 on the Billboard chart and going double-platinum. It was a meeting that would prove lucrative. Opening for Neil Young wasn’t half-bad either, especially when you got to meet Emmylou Harris backstage at one of his concerts. Their first hit together was “Silver Threads and Golden Needles” in 1974. Peter Asher was good company too if you were looking for a producer and his collaboration with Linda would span about a decade-and-a-half. An up-and-coming foursome of musicians named Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Bernie Laudon and Randy Meiser didn’t mind, though, and they backed her on her self-titled third release and went on to become The Eagles. Good help was hard to find in the early ’70s if you were the only successful female solo artist on the rock tour and were looking for a backup band. It was Silk Purse, released a year later, that yielded her first solo hit “Long Long Gone” and first of twenty-seven Grammy nominations. Ronstadt stayed close to her folksy roots by recording country music, reflected in the title of her first solo album, Home Sown…Home Grown in 1969.

By the time their last album was released, they had already disbanded. They were regulars on the ’60s California folk scene and toured with The Doors but their albums didn’t do much except yield the Michael Nesmith-penned hit “Different Drum”. She started out like many artists singing with her family but moved to Los Angeles when she was 17 and soon thereafter formed a trio called The Stone Poneys with friends Kenny Edwards and Bobby Kimmel. Her beginnings were humble enough, if you consider having a father who invented the electric stove humble. She was also the first successful female solo act in the history of rock and roll.
