#Hasten down the wind cover full
(During this time, Ronstadt and Harris also covered a number of Parton's compositions-Harris covered "Coat of Many Colors" and "To Daddy", and Ronstadt recorded "I Will Always Love You"-for inclusion on their various solo albums during the mid- to late-1970s Parton, in turn, covered Harris' "Boulder to Birmingham" in 1976, including it on her All I Can Do album.)įinally a collaboration effort went to full fruition, being produced by George Massenburg. Parton and Ronstadt also recorded a version of the traditional ballad "I Never Will Marry", which appeared on Ronstadt's 1977 Simple Dreams album, though that was recorded separately from these sessions, as was Ronstadt's cover of Hank Williams' "I Can't Help it if I'm Still in Love With You", from Heart Like a Wheel, on which she was joined by Harris. Rodney Crowell's "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues" was on Harris' Blue Kentucky Girl album. "Mister Sandman" and "Evangeline" appeared on Harris' album Evangeline and Parton's "My Blue Tears" was included on Ronstadt's 1982 album Get Closer. Some of the fruits of those aborted 1970s recording sessions did make it onto the women's respective solo recordings. Longtime friends and admirers of one another, Parton, Ronstadt and Harris first attempted to record an album together in the mid-1970s, but scheduling conflicts and other difficulties (including the fact that the three women all recorded for different record labels) prevented its release. Recorded May-July 1976 at The Sound Factory, Los Angeles, California Kenny Edwards, bass, mandolin, background vocals Ronstadt has explored many musical styles in her career, and „Hasten Down The Wind“ is no exception, as country, rock, pop, Spanish music and reggae come together to form a winner. Linda does a powerful and searing rendition of Patsy Cline's "Crazy," as her soprano sheds new light on an old classic. Ronstadt goes the Jamaican route with "Give One Heart," a reggae love song. The title track is a ballad written by Warren Zevon and features fellow Californian Don Henley on harmony vocals. Ronstadt delves into Spanish territory with "Lo Siento Mi Vida," a beautiful acoustic number. Linda decides it's time to rock out with a kickin' version of Buddy Holly's "That'll Be The Day."
"Lose Again" is a country rock ballad written by Karla Bonoff. It's a very real, raw album with Ronstadt's sweet vocals pierced by a touch of grit. It also garnered her a Grammy for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Her third album to go platinum, Hasten Down the Wind spent several weeks in the top three of the Billboard album charts.„Hasten Down The Wind“ was a number three smash and Ronstadt's first million- selling disc. A reworking of the late Patsy Cline's classic "Crazy" was a Top 10 Country hit for Ronstadt in early 1977. The album included a cover of a cover: "The Tattler" by Washington Phillips, which Ry Cooder had re-arranged for his 1974 album Paradise and Lunch. The album showcased songs from artists such as Warren Zevon ("Hasten Down the Wind") and Karla Bonoff ("Someone to Lay Down Beside Me"), both of whom would soon be making a name for themselves in the singer-songwriter world. A more serious and poignant album than its predecessors, it won critical acclaim. It represented a slight departure from 1974's Heart Like a Wheel and 1975's Prisoner in Disguise in that she chose to showcase new songwriters over the traditional country rock sound she had been producing up to that point. The album earned her a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female in early 1977, her second of 11 Grammys. Ronstadt was the first female artist in history to accomplish this feat. Hasten Down the Wind is a Grammy Award-winning 1976 album by singer/songwriter/producer Linda Ronstadt, and her third straight million-selling album.
