Linda Ronstadt is not a typical recording artist. Thankfully. Even a cursory review of her discography between 1969 and 2006 points to her successful sampling of diverse musical styles: standards with Nelson Riddle, folk, Motown, Mexican rancheras, the trio albums with Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris, jazz, new wave, Broadway, and, most famously, Southern California pop/rock.
Never satisfied to merely appropriate current trends, Ronstadt instead chooses to explore music that further shapes and sharpens her exquisite voice. Two years following her fourth standards album, Hummin' to Myself, Linda Ronstadt joins noted Cajun musician and scholar Ann Savoy on Adieu False Heart, a technically perfect, emotionally wrought, if overly melancholy, album that melds ballads, Cajun music, and flourishes of bluegrass into one delicious gumbo. ~ Full review at Pop Matters
