LINDA RONSTADT "the very best of" cd, 2002:
to be fair, I'm not a fan of artists who make careers out of being covers artists and Linda
is no exception to that rule....
but luckily for her she has a beautiful voice and does, at times, makes songs her own....
examples of that are "when willi be loved", "just one look", "poor poor pitiful me" and "youre no good"...
she also has beautiful big brown eyes and oozes sex appeal with her "butter wouldn't melt...." looks (not that that
defines a good singer but it sure does help keep my attention...)....
all up twenty one tracks on here that span her solo career to the release date...
almost half of them I dislike, sorry, but its very rare I like anyone covering Motown hits and white chicks (and guys)
should not be allowed to get their paws around those classics as a rule....
album barely scrapes through for me because of that...
