Linda Ronstadt Greatest Hits (1976)

Review from CD Review: March 1990
review by Holly Gleason
PERFORMANCE: 9 SOUND: 8

Ronstadt's first greatest hits package surveys her country/rock period, consisting of music she created with acts such as the Eagles, Poco, and Jackson Browne. It's rare for Ronstadt to receive her share of credit for making the singer/songwriter movement popular. But songs such as "You're No Good," "That'll Be the Day," "Love Has No Pride," "Heat Wave," and "When Will I Be Loved" prove that her aim is true. As an overview, Greatest Hits is stellar.

Linda Ronstadt Greatest Hits Volume II (1980)

Review from CD Review: March 1990
review by Holly Gleason
PERFORMANCE: 8 SOUND: 8

Greatest Hits Vol. 2 shows Ronstadt more confident with her place in pop music and her abilities as a singer. Consequently, the sweep of material is much greater. From the wide-open heartbreak of "Blue Bayou" to the under-her-thumb insistence of "How Do I Make You," Ronstadt is in control. Though Vol. 2 contains some of her biggest hits, the best of Ronstadt's most subtle and moving work remains buried on her full-length albums.
