From rock to country to opera, there's hardly a genre that 11-time Grammy winner and multi-award nominee Linda Ronstadt hasn't tackled with tremendous success. When Ronstadt performs live in concert, fans get a dynamic singer with a powerful voice that could shatter glass. Tickets to her tours sold out repeatedly as she broke all kinds of gender barriers, proving that a woman could hold her own in male-dominated rock and roll. Tucson-native Ronstadt met guitarist Bob Kimmel in college. With him and another guitarist, Kenny Edwards, she formed The Stone Ponies, a folk-rock trio with an ultra-hip California sound.
After experimenting with a variety of styles, she settled on a soft, country rock sound that became her signature style for many years. With the release of 1974's "Heart Like a Wheel" – which shot to No. 1 – Ronstadt was off and running, enjoying a slew of hits, such as "You're No Good," "It Doesn't Matter Anymore" and "When Will I Be Loved." These songs made Linda Ronstadt's name synonymous with her sweet vocal style. However, with her career as an interpretive singer, taking covers and transforming them into unique works with a flavor that belonged to her and her alone, Ronstadt ensured her place in the pantheon of great live singers. Her efforts did not go unrewarded. 1977's "Simple Dreams" went to No. 1 as well, winning three Grammys. In 1978, Ronstadt grabbed four of Billboard's top awards across four separate genres. After dazzling listeners in theater, opera and other genres, Ronstadt eventually settled into adult contemporary, a genre that suits her versatile voice perfectly. She continued to receive the industry's highest accolades for her vocal work across the field, her many collaborative efforts and her influential place in music history as a truly groundbreaking female artist.
Sorry to say, but I was expecting more from her; or at least something like the original show. Los Camperos de Nati Cano were excelllent and the dancers, well we have better here in L.A.
Captivating! We totally enjoyed the lively uplifting mariachi music, the fabulous singers (Linda and the others) and the colorful traditional dancers. It is a show to see again and again, if you can!
Concert was boring and short. She could of have sang more of her songs.
I was expecting Linda Ronstadt who sang many Hits of the 70's and 80's in ENGLISH - like "Your no good" and "blue Bayou". This was an all Spanish concert. Just not what I expected.
Linda Ronstadt's voice rocked! She still has the 'sound'. Her mariachi band was excellent! However, her mariachi band spoke very little English, even in between the songs. Linda sang all her Spanish songs, NOT ONE SONG in ENGLISH! When the event was advertised, the Spanish content was not mentioned, coz if it had been, I would not have attended. So although she sounds good, she spent very little time on stage, and almost no English was spoken.
Linda is amazing. It was a joy to hear her sing her Canciones de Mi Padre. She is an awsome lady whose voice is still pretty incredible. I loved her outfit displaying Our Lady of Guadalupe on the back of her jacket. The Ballet Folklorico was a very nice touch. The only thing that I would have liked to see that I didn't was if maybe she spoke in Spanish. I know she sings beautifully in Spanish, but I don't think she speaks it... Other than that, it was a great show. I'm glad I was there to enjoy it...
The show was fabulous. It started right on time and went on for two great hours of music. Linda was outstanding and the Mariachi, wow.
RONSTADT'S VOICE WAS NEVER BETTER. I DON'T SPEAK A WORD OF SPANISH, BUT THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THE SHOW.
Canciones de mi padre, nobody sings these songs like she does. I would see her again and again performing.
It was fairly good. :) I have nothing else to say.
incredible. I had tears in my eyes, they were so good........and I don't speak Espagnol!!!
Show was the best!! On the other hand, people with no manners, the drunks, and cramp sitting was the super pits!!
There was no linda Ronstadt. just mariachi music. two hours of the same song over and over and over
