While some critics may have preferred Joni Mitchell's intellectualism, Bonoff and Ronstadt tapped directly into the internal experiences of the American everywoman. A 1976 Rolling Stone cover story that Cameron did on Linda Ronstadt. Linda Maria Ronstadt (born July 15, 1946) is a retired American singer who performed and recorded in diverse genres including rock, country, light opera, the Great American Songbook, and Latin. Ronstadt also bravely covers songs already done definitively by others-Patsy Clines Crazy. She even tries (not entirely successfully) to cover Buddy Holly (Thatll Be. Instead of the rush of newfound love, “Lose Again” deals with the tribulation of maintaining long-term relationships after the bloom is gone. Im really excited about todays new Journalism addition. RONSTADT,LINDA - Hasten Down the Wind - Music. HASTEN DOWN THE WIND was a number three smash and Ronstadts first million.
Together they formulated a realistic, grownup perspective for female pop music. Ronstadt brings soaring authenticity to Bonoff’s resolute words. Tracy Nelson gave Ronstadt “Down So Low,” a husky blues about a rough breakup, while Karla Bonoff-who wrote “Lose Again,” “If He’s Ever Near," and “Someone to Lay Down Beside Me”-is the album’s hidden star. But more crucial is its inclusion of contemporary women songwriters. The light was fading and the horse just appeared.
Like its predecessors, the album looks to Ronstadt’s peers (Zevon, Ry Cooder) and her formative idols (Buddy Holly’s “That’ll Be the Day,” an extra-sultry version of Patsy Cline’s “Crazy”). We were shooting on the beach outside some music producer’s house in Malibu Colony. Another example of Ronstadt's joyous way with the hits of her youth lies in her romping version of Buddy Holly's "That'll Be the Day." While she would go on in the 1980s to famously breathe new energy into the Great American Songbook with Nelson Riddle, her now classic 70s albums have become a compendium of enduring pop/rock songwriting from a similarly fertile pool of creativity.Named for the celebrated Warren Zevon song of the same name (sung here with Don Henley), Hasten Down the Wind shows Linda Ronstadt outgrowing the boisterously girlish persona that had made her a hippie icon. Ronstadt confidently eases into Willie Nelson's "Crazy," putting her stamp on Patsy Cline's most emblematic hit with phrasing and a vocal timbre that are memorably distinct from Cline. The Grammy winning collection is anchored by a pair of sure-fire covers. See More Your browser does not support the audio element.

Bonoff is heard in the moody bookends of opener "Lose Again," and closer "Someone to Lay Down Beside Me." And Zevon's dark ballad, here turned into a gentle lament with Don Henley singing harmony, serves as the album's title track.
Two major talents in the SoCal songwriting universe, Karla Bonoff and Warren Zevon, are elemental to the success of Hasten Down the Wind. After her vocals and innate gift for unerring phrasing, it's the incomparable songwriting that's allowed these records to age so gracefully.
