Full program notes

Linda left her hometown of Tuscon when she was 18. The night she left her father gave her the guitar his father had gifted to him and said, “Ahora que tienes una guitarra, nunca tendrás hambre.” Translation: “Now that you own a guitar, you will never be hungry.” With her first hit, Different Drum, Linda proved him right. For over four decades, until her retirement due to Parkinson’s disease, everything she sang turned to gold.

I have selected many of my favorite Linda Ronstadt songs from her early country-rock hits to jazz standards and Mariachi. In between I share background stories of her famous musical collaborators, friends and lovers. The music is as emotionally charged and fresh as ever. You will delight in remembering Linda’s great versions of Rock Me On The Water, Blue Bayou, You’re No Good, When Will I Be Loved, Different Drum, Desperado, Silver Threads and many others.
