By Mike Koller Of The Print :• :< ; ■ : : : : i ; ■ ■ • i ■: :■ :• :■ :• ; ; : : 5 ! ■ ■ : Linda Ronstadt’s newest effort, “Living in the USA” really leaves the listener with an indifferent feeling. The main problem with this record is that it lacks any real emotion that is such a part of Ronstadt’s early albums like “Prisoner in Disguise” and “Heart Like A Wheel.” Rondstadt has picked songs written by Smokey Robinson, Chuck Berry, Warren Zevon and Elvis Costello, each a great songwriter in their own field of rock music. But in choosing songs like Costello’s “Alison” and Berry’s “Living in the USA” Ronstadt has defeated her- self before this record ever hits the turntables across America. Ronstadt just can’t match the anguish in Costello’s voice during “Alison” because she probably doesn’t have any idea why he wrote the song in the first place. But it’s a nice song, so why not record a female version of it? It will sell records, right? “All That You Dream”, a funky Little Feat favorite is another song; Ronstadt has at tempted to do a cover ver sion of. The result is the same. Ronstadt can’t come close to matching the original. In fact, she fails three more times on “Living in the USA”, “Love Me Tender” and “Just One Look.” This record is beginning to sound more like “Wayne Newton Sings Your Favorite Rock Songs of the Decade”, instead of a Linda Ronstadt album. There really is no point to this album. Why listen to in ferior versions of great songs when you can have the originals at the same cost? Obviously a few million people probably don’t know there are better versions, but who cares anyway? It’s the new Linda Ronstadt album, so it has to be great!
