Great New Linda Ronstadt Live
If you’ve always wished that Linda had put out some live albums, your prayers have been partly answered. "Live In Hollywood" was recorded for an HBO special in April 1980. Linda and the band are in peak form. The recording is excellent for a 1980 live show. She does a few ballads but mostly rocks out on familiar songs. This release shows what an incredible vocalist she was. My only problem with it is that it only includes 12 out of 20 songs she performed that night. Maybe we can hope for a Deluxe Edition.

It looks like this release almost didn’t happen. From Rolling Stone: The album owes its release to serendipitous circumstances, according to producer John Boylan. Although HBO, Ronstadt and her record label, Warner Bros., were initially unable to locate the master tapes, Boylan ultimately tracked them down because of a conversation he had with a Warner Bros. audio engineer at their sons’ hockey practice. “I have no way of calculating the odds of finding the lost tapes through a chance encounter at a hockey practice, but they must be astronomical — like winning the lottery,” Boylan writes in the LP’s liner notes. “And in this case of remarkable serendipity, every Linda Ronstadt fan is a lottery winner.” https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/linda-ronstadt-live-album-769477/ You'd think that Warner Bros. could have put out a memo asking their staff if anyone knew where the master tapes were, but I guess the music business has its own way of doing things. |
