A cover of Warren Zevon's 1976 classic from his self titled album, Linda's version is in itself a pop/rock treasure. Released in Australia 35 years ago this week, the song was later issued as a single in America, reaching the Top 40 in early 1978. Down-under the song just cracked the Top 30 and within 2 months the next single 'Blue Bayou' would go all the way to #3. The LP from which these tracks were released was one of the decade's best sellers - 'Simple Dreams', (becoming her 5th consecutive platinum awarded album in the US, and in Oz the 4th best seller of 1978) confirming Linda Ronstadt as the pre-eminent vocalist of the era - straddling country, pop and rock. She would continue to diversify her considerable talent into new wave rock, Latin, jazz and pop standards among the panoply of genres she would master. Again it gives me enormous joy to create a clip of one of Linda's classic hits. Enjoy!
