Linda Ronstadt - Simple Dreams .jpg) .gif) By Daniel Durchholz
On its face, Simple Dreams seems a crazy quilt of styles, from
the friendly country-rock remake of Buddy Holly's "It's So
Easy," the brooding covers of Roy Orbison's "Blue Bayou,"
and Dolly Parton's "I Never Will Marry" to dissolute tales of
rock & roll madness like the Rolling Stones' "Tumbling Dice"
and Warren Zevon's "Carmelita" and "Poor Poor Pitiful
Me." Yet Ronstadt is able to keep it all together, proving her
interpretive depth and stylistic breadth all at once. Simple Dreams
is perhaps Ronstadt's most adventurous rock-oriented album, and, with the
exception of the drum sounds, which indelibly identify this as a product
of the '70s, it still works.
