Linda Ronstadt's recent
collaboration with Cajun music artist Ann Savoy on
"Adieu False Heart"
was nominated for two Grammy awards. In addition to being nominated for Best Traditional
Folk Album (Bruce Springsteen won),
this project was also nominated for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical.
The duo shares vocal duties on "Walk Away Renee." The Left Banke's original version peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1966 and was a No. 14 hit for the Four Tops two years later.
Elsewhere on "Adieu False Heart," Ronstadt takes the lead on versions of Richard Thompson's "King of Bohemia," Julie Miller's "I Can't Get Over You" and John Jacob Niles' "Go Away From My Window." Savoy, meanwhile, sings lead on Thompson's "Burn's Supper," Arthur Smith's "Adieu False Heart," David L. Greely's "Marie Mouri" and Bill Monroe's "The One I Love Is Gone."
Musicians include Joel Savoy (acoustic guitar, fiddle), Sam Broussard, Chas Justus (acoustic guitar), Sam Bush (mandolin),
