Ronstadt Linda

Linda Ronstadt released one of the most successful albums of her groundbreaking career in 1977 with the #1Grammy®-winning smash Simple Dreams. It was the singer’s eighth studio album and would go on to sell more than three million copies in the U.S. alone. Rhino has revisited the classic 40 years later to create a new version that features remastered audio, plus a trio of live songs taken from a 1980 concert performance. When Simple Dreams came out in September 1977, it became Ronstadt’s fifth consecutive platinum-certified album. A few months after its release, the album would finally end Fleetwood Mac’s record-breaking 29-week stay atop the Billboard Album Chart when it replaced Rumours at #1. Simple Dreams’ success spread beyond America, hitting #1 here in Australia, while reaching the Top 20 in the Netherlands, France, New Zealand, and the U.K. Along with major hits, Simple Dreams also featured several tracks that would emerge as fan favourites, like the singer’s take on Warren Zevon’s Poor Poor Pitiful Me and the Rolling Stones’ Tumbling Dice. Country superstar Dolly Parton joined Ronstadt on the traditional ballad I Never Will Marry, a Top 10 hit on the Country charts. Key interviews with Linda including Saturday Night Country, ABC Radio, The West Australian and Rhythms. In addition to newly remastered sound, the Expanded Edition of Simple Dreams also includes bonus live recordings of It’s So Easy, Poor Poor Pitiful Me and Blue Bayou. All three are taken from a concert recording that originally aired on HBO in 1980 and are available here for the first time as standalone audio tracks and are included on a bonus 7”.
