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!
