Linda Ronstadt

Linda Ronstadt's second solo album returns to CD from Varese Vintage. Ronstadt teamed with producer Elliot Mazer (recommended by Janis Joplin) to craft a record with a much more country sound than her previous efforts.  While overshadowed by her later hugely successful recordings, Silk Purse remains a top-notch collection filled with great vocal performances by Ronstadt including a sublime take on Goffin and King's "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?" is sublime as is the LP's breakthrough single, "Long, Long, Time."  Steve Massie has remastered, and Jerry McCulley provides new liner notes.
