FEELS LIKE HOME- recent memoir
Linda has a new book, available since October. Here is a description from the publisher:
In Feels Like Home, Grammy award-winning singer Linda Ronstadt effortlessly evokes the magical panorama of the high desert, a landscape etched by sunlight and carved by wind, offering a personal tour built around meals and memories of the place where she came of age. Growing up the granddaughter of Mexican immigrants and a descendant of Spanish settlers near northern Sonora, Ronstadt s intimate new memoir celebrates the marvelous flavors and indomitable people on both sides of what was once a porous border whose denizens were happy to exchange recipes and gather around campfires to sing the ballads that shaped Ronstadt s musical heritage. Following her bestselling musical memoir, Simple Dreams, this book seamlessly braids together Ronstadt s recollections of people and their passions in a region little understood in the rest of the United States. This road trip through the desert, written in collaboration with former New York Times writer Lawrence Downes and illustrated throughout with beautiful photographs by Bill Steen, features recipes for traditional Sonoran dishes and a bevy of revelations for Ronstadt s admirers. If this book were a radio signal, you might first pick it up on an Arizona highway, well south of Phoenix, coming into the glow of Ronstadt s hometown of Tucson. It would be playing something old and Mexican, from a time when the border was a place not of peril but of possibility.
Upon its release in February 1980 it entered the Billboard Album Chart at #5 in its first week, which was the highest position ever for a female artist
at that time. Currently out of print on CD, the album is available in a limited edition vinyl release from
Friday Music. Below are some videos from Mad Love.

RHINO RECORDS PODCASTS- LINDA RONSTADT INTERVIEWED IN TWO PARTS
Maria Linda Ronstadt was born July 15, 1946 in Tucson, Arizona.
No other vocalist has had a more diversified career than Linda Ronstadt.
She began her career in the mid-1960s with the folk-rock group the Stone Poneys. After the
break-up of the Stone Poneys, Linda entered the country music field. In 1969, with
the release of Hand Sown... Home Grown, Linda became the first
female singer to release an alt-country album. In 1971,
she put together the band
that would become America's biggest selling band, the Eagles.
Linda achieved her greatest
commercial success in the mid-1970s when she became the first female rock superstar
and the top-selling female vocalist for that decade. During this period, she became
widely known as The Queen of Rock and The Queen of Country Rock. Achieving superstardom during the '70s, Linda
went on to sell an even greater number of albums in the '80s than she did in the '70s.
Her long string of
platinum albums continued throughout the '80s with several varied projects. These included
three albums of standards with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra, an album of mariachi standards, and
a trio project with Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris. She ended the decade with a return to popular music
featuring her duets with Aaron Neville.
Linda's success extended into the '90s as well, starting off with
a Grammy win for Don't Know Much and ending the decade with a
Grammy nomination for Western Wall
and a win with Trio II.
Other Grammy-winning projects
during the 1990s included another album of Mexican canciones, an album of Latin music, and
a best-selling album of rock classics redone as lullabies. During this same time, she produced
some of the best pop/rock music of her career with
Winter Light,
Feels Like Home, and
her last rock album We Ran.
Linda began the new millennium with her only Christmas album,
A Merry Little Christmas. This was followed by
an album of classic jazz standards, Hummin' to Myself. Linda's final album release was
Adieu False Heart,
an album of duets with Cajun artist Ann Savoy. Linda is now retired from performing due to Parkinsons Disease.
On November 9, 2011 Linda was honored with the Lifetime Achivement Award from the Latin Recording
Academy. On April 23, 2016 Linda was honored in Los Angeles with a special Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award.
