Some may have jumped on the standard's band wagon after Joni, but Linda Ronstadt was not one of them. She was recording with Nelson Riddle since the late 70's and early 80's. Joni is unbeatable in my book, not even by Dylan comes close, but when it comes to the race towards singing standard, Linda beat Joni to the finish line. Who does it better? Linda? Joni? That is a matter of opinion. Joni did an excellent job but Linda did a great job of it too! As for all the CMIRS comments, this album coming out from someone else would have received high praises from most of you. So what if it isn't Blue or FTR. It is still a great album compared to most of the stuff put out by other people. It may not be a great Joni album but it is still a very good album and definitely worth the $8 to 10 dollars I spent on the LP back in the late 80's. I too would have ditched Idol and Petty(Despite the fact that I like Petty).
"workingwilly" I like that! From now on that is who i'll be! _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx
