LINDA RONSTADT HASTEN DOWN THE WIND MFSL 1-319 180 gram Audiophile LP Limited Edition 180-gram LP Mastered from the Original Tapes! 1976 Grammy Award Winner: Named Best Female Pop Vocal Performance Part of her impeccable string of mid-1970s albums that defined California's soft-rock scene, Linda Ronstadt's Grammy-winning Hasten Down the Wind is the vocalist at her best—and that's saying something.   Just consider the watertight repertoire: The Warren Zevon title track.   Patsy Cline's (by way of Willie Nelson) “Crazy,” Buddy Holly's “That'll Be the Day,” Nelson's “Down So Low.”   This is a can't-miss album. Now the album finally has the exquisite sound it has always deserved.   Listeners can now literally feel Ronstadt's deep-seated emotions.   Even better, her covers of affecting ballads intentionally revolve around vocal-heavy arrangements.   It's no wonder that the album, which topped the country charts, also yielded two Top 20 hits and resulted in the artist's first platinum-record award.
