Simple Dreams : A Musical Memoir
Linda Ronstadt - Book - by Linda Ronstadt
(2015)
Linda
Ronstadt was born in 1946 to a modest family outside Tucson. From an
early age, she, her brother and sister began making their own music,
eventually performing their own shows in the folk and Mexican traditions
of the area. By the time Ronstadt was in community college, she
realized the music scene in LA was where she wanted to be, just in time
for the folk revival that was sweeping the nation.
Despite
some setbacks with her first band-the Stone Poneys-she quickly found
her niche as a soloist with the new record label run by David Geffen.
Soon she was touring with Neil Young, and soon after that was a major
figure in her own right. By the time she retired in 2009, Linda Ronstadt
had spent four decades as one of the most popular singers in the world.
But
throughout her career, as she writes, she stuck to one simple dream: to
perform good music authentically. In her debut as a writer, she
describes her journey with the same subtlety and gracefulness with which
she has sung, so beautifully, longingly, and honestly.
