This is one of the hardest songs for even the best singers to handle. Ronstadt's legendary pipes demonstrate how a heart breaks with a deafening sound, and her version of "Down So Low" stands nicely beside the magnificent Tracy Nelson's. Our Linda may never sing again, but we've been lucky to have had her for a few decades.

Yes, Tracy Nelson wrote and sang this song and quite well...in fact it is excellent but Linda takes it to new heights with her vocal range and abilities where others, including Tracy, can't. Not sure why we can't just like both artists versions. Linda and Tracy are friends. Their rendition of Rock Salt and Nails is sublime. They would do well to record together. No need to tear either of these women down to build up the other. They stand on their own as outstanding talents.

I wish all those reactors reacting to her main stream hits like Blue Bayou would react to this performance of her singing “Way Down Low”. There’s so many reacting to her mainstream hits. Only a couple reacting to this one. And it’s too bad. This is such outstanding performance. One for the ages. When she goes, media will most likely highlight in their news of her passing with a couple of her “hit songs” like Blur Bayou. Thank goodness though there’s youtube, as per chance a few may come across this soulful performance and truly understand her brilliance one of the most magnificent singers of all time!

@@J9black Just had to respond one more time. Was not surprised to read that you are a serious student of singing. Actually, watched the excellent documentary on Ms. Ronstadt last night as I found it uploaded on KZitem. It was only after seeing it last September in the theater, that I began watching KZitem. I tried finding the full videos of the performances shown in the film. KZitem has been quite an eye-opener for me. I have noted that often times, commenters inject politics, offer opinions about a singer's personal life or appearance, and banter about (not always civilly! ) which singer has a better voice or version of a particular song. I am neither a trained singer nor musician, and at 63, I am not likely to be pursuing a career in either. However, I have always loved to sing, and sang well enough in my younger days, that three friends risked having me sing at their weddings. The creative process fascinates me. I am always drawn to "commenters" like you, who analyze the style and substance of Ms. Ronstadt's artistry. Your "speaky voice" observation resonated with me; regardless of her age or the genre in which she is singing, I always feel Ms. Ronstadt is effortlessly communicating a story, an emotion, or a mood. She creates an intimate space that we enter into when she sings. As she articulated in her memoir and the film, she did sing for the same reasons a bird sang. I wish you all the best in your continued studies and pursuits. Please keep commenting on other posts of Ms. Ronstadt's performances, and please know that one of the "thumbs up" your comment receives will be mine!

hotajax, I couldn't agree more. She's still far and away the single greatest female vocalist of all time. But it's so much more than simply having the greatest voice and skill, with her it's the raw emotional soul energy that's pouring out of her. You can tell that she means and feels every word she sings, that it's coming from her soul. As exemplified in this soul-stirring, otherworldly performance, her singing is transcendant, almost spiritual. The highest form of art which seems to sum up all at once the vastness yet the fragility of the human soul and the human experience in this world, the whole range of the deepest human emotions; love, fear, hope, despair, etc...

This electrifying performance proves (to me) that Linda could have had easily added the blues to the list of musical genres she conquered. As far as I have heard, this is as close as she came, but it was clearly there for her if she had wanted it. I think she tended to avoid songs and genres she didn't feel a very solid bond with stemming back to her childhood. This was the profound artistic integrity that shaped her career and for which she was well known.

With absolute power in her vocals, and one of the best bands assembled (including the great Waddy W. alternating on the Fender Strat and Gibson SG), this girl tore it up every night she took the stage.
