Linda Ronstadt

The first-ever live album from Linda Ronstadt, Live in Hollywood, features twelve tracks (three previously released) from the singer's April 24, 1980 performance for HBO.  While the entire concert isn't featured here, the material is a choice cross-section of her biggest hits including "It's So Easy," "Just One Look," "You're No Good," "Desperado," and "Blue Bayou," as well as selections from her new wave-inspired Mad Love, which had just been released in February 1980.  Her interpretations of "I Can't Let Go," "How Do I Make You," and "Hurt So Bad" all reached the top ten.  Songwriter pals like Warren Zevon ("Poor, Poor Pitiful Me"), Don Henley and Glenn Frey ("Desperado"), Lowell George ("Willin'"), and J.D. Souther ("Faithless Love") were all represented.  Available on CD, LP, and digital.
