Linda has probably the biggest musical vocabulary of anyone who has ever lived. No other artist has attempted so many different styles and she nails it time and time again.

When Linda told record executives she wanted to record an album of Mexican music they thought she was crazy. Oh how wrong they were. This album, the first of three albums she recorded in Spanish, became the biggest selling non-English language album in American record history, a distinction she still holds.

The look on your face while watching Linda sing... you're smitten. 😉 Seriously, she could sing literally any genre. You should give a listen to some of the traditional Pop standards on her "What's New" album. Its amazing how she can switch gears from Rock to Country to Spanish/Mariachi to Pop Standards. One of the best voices of our time without a doubt. I watched a fairly recent interview a news program did with her discussing her new book and neurological condition that took her singing ability away and it just broke my heart.

Linda released the album Canciones de Mi Padre (Songs of my Father) in 1987 to honor her Mexican heritage. The album immediately became a global smash hit. At 2½ million US sales, it stands as the biggest selling non-English language album in American record history. Linda is unparalleled, she sampled many music genres and was a smashing success in all of them.

And this is just not "the other side" of Linda Ronstadt...it is one of many of her "sides." Look further into her rock/country music, continue with her Mariachi and then move into her Musical Theatre/Broadway (Gilbert and Sullivan), Big Band with Nelson Riddle and his orchestra, and with the Trio going back to Country. There is so much more to Linda, and I'm so glad to see you appreciating her brilliance and gift.

I was fortunate enough to see her live spanning 30 years. She wanted to do big band music inches early 80's so she reached out to Nelson Riddle. Two albums were released, and as usual, she killed it! Then, there was the collaborative album with😊 Aaron Neville which earned them a Grammy followed by a jazz album and children's album. Check out the documentary Sound of My Voice for historical context.

If you don’t get that facial expression like the one Julia Roberts puts on during the Opera scene in the movie Pretty Woman, then you’re not feeling the pasión of Mariachi music. Your facial expression says everything. You get it - and that was amazing to watch you feel it.

Linda was immersed in Spanish having grown up in Tuscon Arizona. As a Mexican-American, she considered Spanish the language of song and English the language of speech. Canciones de mi Padre were her father's songs and they speak prominently of the Mariachi music of Jalisco. A discerning ear will note that flavor permeating many of her songs. My Mexican-American wife could detect that quality and had her pegged as Hispanic in spite of her German surname.

A labor of love, she wanted to do this as a tribute to her father. These are among the songs she heard in the house growing up. She had to relearn Spanish to do the album. Sadly, when she started "Touring" this show, some purchased tickets to see Ronstadt sing her (English) hits. Some folks, it is said, demanded their money back.
