  • LINDA RONSTADT 30 Unsterbliche Songs Der Fantastischen Sängerin Aus Fast Drei Dekaden Auf Zwei Cds! Ab 21
    im Auftrag: medienAgentur Stefan Michel T 040-5149 1467 F 040-5149 1465 [email protected] LINDA RONSTADT 30 unsterbliche Songs der fantastischen Sängerin aus fast drei Dekaden auf zwei CDs! Ab 21. August 2015 LINDA RONSTADT gehört zu den erfolgreichsten Künstlerinnen des Westcoast und Countryrock, aber ihre Fähigkeiten greifen weit über Genregrenzen hinaus. Mit ihrer unvergleichlichen Stimme, die gleichzeitig zart und kraftvoll sein kann, produzierte sie Dutzende von Hits und verkaufte sie seit 1968 weit über 100 Millionen Alben. Zahllose Auszeichnungen, darunter allein 11 Grammys und ein Golden Globe für ihre Rolle im Broadway Musical „The Pirates of Penzance“, machten sie zu einer der gefeiertsten Künstlerinnen Amerikas. Im vergangenen Jahr wurde sie von US-Präsident Obama mit der Kunstmedaille der Vereinigten Staaten ausgezeichnet und in die Rock’n’Roll Hall Of Fame aufgenommen. Die Retrospektive Just One Look: The Very Best Of LINDA RONSTADT wirft einen intensiven Blick auf ihre außergewöhnliche Karriere und bringt ihre besten Aufnahmen auf zwei CDs zusammen! Die Sammlung mit 30 Songs umfasst alles in allem 26 Jahre und enthält Aufnahmen aus 11 ihrer Studio-Alben. Mit dabei ist auch ihr allererster großer Hit Different Drum, der von Monkees-Mitglied Mike Nesmith geschrieben wurde und den LINDA RONSTADT für das zweite Album ihres kurzlebigen Folk-Rock-Trios The Stone Poneys aufgenommen hatte. Disc 1 vollzieht den bahnbrechenden Aufstieg in den Siebzigern nach, der LINDA RONSTADT als eine der erfolgreichsten Sängerinnen etablierte. Es waren Songs wie Love Has No Pride aus dem 1973er Album Don’t Cry Now und You’re No Good aus dem mehrfach mit Platin ausgezeichneten Grammy-Album Heart Like A Wheel (1974), die ihr einen massiven Durchbruch verschafften.

  • “Heart Like a Wheel”—Linda Ronstadt (1974) Added to the National Registry: 2013 Essay by Cary O’Dell
    “Heart Like a Wheel”—Linda Ronstadt (1974) Added to the National Registry: 2013 Essay by Cary O’Dell Original album Original label Peter Asher Linda Ronstadt’s 1974 album “Heart Like a Wheel” was her fifth as a solo artist. And though she had previously enjoyed some chart success with the group The Stone Poneys (their recording of “Different Drum” was a hit in 1967) and achieved some success as a solo artist in 1970 with the song “Long Long Time,” “Heart Like a Wheel” is considered her breakthrough album and, to some, her career masterwork. Considering Ronstadt’s “Heart” success, musically and commercially, it is not surprising that it was this album that also marked the first time Ronstadt had an entire album steered by music producer extraordinaire Peter Asher. Asher, a former performer (he was the Peter in Peter & Gordon), began managing and producing other performers in late 1960s. One of his first clients was a young troubadour named James Taylor. In the early ‘70s, after an introduction by Taylor’s sister, Kate, Asher began managing and producing Linda Ronstadt. Once joined up with Ronstadt, Asher and the California-based singer soon became something of a dynamic duo. “Heart” marked the beginning of a long and extraordinarily successful collaboration; every subsequent album Ronstadt would ever record with Asher—all 13 of them-- would eventually be certified either gold or platinum. Since her debut on vinyl with the Stone Poneys and as a solo act via her early albums “Hand Sown…Home Grown” (1969), “Silk Purse” (1970) and “Linda Ronstadt” (1972), Ronstadt had been working steadily in pushing the country genre toward the pop mainstream.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

I’m Carter Smith from Common Ground Concerts. For the past 15 years, we have been presenting live music — currently at our home base, Common Ground Coffeehouse at The First Unitarian Society of Westchester in Hastings, as well at historic Irvington Town Hall Theater in Irvington. This program is intended to serve as both a guide to our whole 2016-17 season, as well as a program for a very special evening: “The Music of Linda Ronstadt: A Benefit for Parkinson's Research.” As some of you know, I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 2013. Three years in, I struggle with things I used to take for granted, like reaching into my pocket or signing my name. But while I’m living with Parkinson’s, the emphasis is on living.

  • Linda Ronstadt by John Rockwell the Queen of Seventies Rock Was First and Foremost a Singer with a Golden Voice As Well As a Musical Omnivore
    Linda Ronstadt By John Rockwell The queen of seventies rock was first and foremost a singer with a golden voice as well as a musical omnivore. NEARLY TWENTY YEARS AFTER SHE BECAME ELIGIBLE, Linda Ronstadt was finally nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and, of course, was elected on the first ballot. Linda herself (I call her Linda because we’ve been friends for nearly forty years) has never been much for awards ceremonies - Hall of Fame, Grammys, whatever. “I don’t want to seem ungracious,” she told me, graciously. “But I’ve refused all comment about this.” ^ One tricky aspect of her relation to the Hall of Fame is that Linda (b. July 15,1946) has long since gone beyond rock in her madly diverse musical career. When she became eligible, she was already well into her standards and Mex­ ican albums. To the disappointment of her rock fans (who, to judge from her recent book tour, remain a devoted, warmly affectionate lot), she gives the 1970s relatively short shrift in her lovely memoir, Sim ple D ream s. To read her now, she felt her musical range to be confined; her concerts all lonely dressing rooms and bad arena acoustics and onstage unease. Indoor sports stadiums and big crowds cause her dis­ comfort. ^ To discuss Linda’s remarkable musical career would be to place equal emphasis on all the kinds of music she has sung, from folk and folk rock, to country and country rock, to pop rock and hard rock, to Gilbert and Sullivan and Puccini, to American songbook standards, to Mexican ranchera, to Afro-Cuban, to jazz.
