Okay friends, here's the Seattle Times' take on Linda's appearance
at Wintergrass with the Bluebirds.

Female singers join for dazzling show of harmony

By Patrick MacDonald

Seattle Times music critic

Concert Review



Talk about going out in style!

The 12th edition of Wintergrass, Tacoma's annual celebration of
bluegrass and acoustic music, ended its four-day run Sunday with a
historic, once-only performance by the BlueBirds, a joining together
of the great pop singer Linda Ronstadt with her longtime friend and
fellow pop singer, Maria Muldaur, and Laurie Lewis, one of the top
female artists in bluegrass. They were backed by five musicians,
most of them from Lewis' band.

The concert was held in a packed Bicentennial Pavilion, which is
just across a courtyard from the Wintergrass headquarters, the
Sheraton Tacoma Hotel. It was standing room only, with all seats
filled and every spot along the walls and the back taken.

An almost palpable feeling of excitement could be felt in the crowd
prior to the show, mostly because of Ronstadt, who had never before
sung bluegrass music in public. That pent-up excitement erupted in
wild applause and a standing ovation when Ronstadt finally sang a
lead, in the fourth song in the set. It was "High Sierra," which she
originally recorded with Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris on the
1999 "Trio II" album.

Her velvety smooth voice was in perfect form, with the same vocal
power that has marked her singing for more than 35 years. She got
another whistling, stomping, standing ovation when she hit some
impossibly high notes on "Rank Stranger."

"Can you imagine what our rehearsals were like?" Lewis said after
that song. "I cried every time she hit those notes. And here I am
doing it again."

A highlight for Muldaur was "My Tennessee Mountain Home," a Parton
song she recorded in 1974 with Ronstadt. Their harmonizing was as
warm and buttery as it was then.

The show was actually more about harmony than lead singing, and the
three sounded especially good together, with Ronstadt's deeper tones
contrasting with Muldaur's higher ones, and Lewis' mid-range adding
balance. Lewis shined on her popular song, "Texas Bluebonnets." And
she teared up again when Ronstadt said that it was her favorite
Lewis song.

The crowd loved the classic country songs in the set,
including "I'll Fly Away" and the closer, the sorrowful but
beautiful "Hard Times Come Again No More." The person most
associated with that song is country great Ralph Stanley, who was
the one who suggested to Muldaur that she round up Ronstadt and
Lewis for the Wintergrass gig.

The show was so good, it's too bad it happened only once. With that
crowd reaction, however, the BlueBirds may be inspired to do it
again.

Mountain Heart preceded the BlueBirds with an entertaining set of
well-played bluegrass. It was the first time at Wintergrass for the
six-piece from the Appalachian Mountains. Hopefully, they'll be
back, too.

It was one of the best Wintergrass festivals ever, not only because
of the BlueBirds and Mountain Heart, but also for such stellar
artists as David Grisman, J.D. Crowe, Tony Rice, Seldom Scene, The
Grascals and Rhonda Vincent & the Rage — not to mention all the
jam
sessions that broke out all over the hotel, and out into the
courtyard.

Just wanted to post on a brief but interesting Linda mention I heard
on the radio.. NPR was having an interview with Linda Thompson, who
was relating how her health and career starting falling apart after
her husband left her suddenly shortly after she gave birth to their
child. It had gotten to the point where she was lying drunk and
drugged in a gutter in LA when our Linda literally picked her up and
took her home and nursed her back to health.. the two remained friends
and have appeared together on albums, recently on the Cajun
compilation album Evangeline.

If Linda had stayed with the Stone Pony's would she had going as far

I think what disheartened her the most about the Stone Poneys was
that they were always breaking up for various reasons, including
poor record sales and having to be opening acts for artists they had
nothing in common with (they even once opened up for the Doors [no
pun intended]).

Also, they were still something of a sligtly more upbeat version of
Peter, Paul, and Mary, very much in the acoustic folk-rock pattern,
but Linda's tastes were leaning more and more towards contemporary
country music, albeit a kind of country far removed from Nashville.
Linda may not have been looking for a solo career outwardly, but
subliminally she knew that the Stone Poneys were only a temporary
thing.

LR has also always said  that she wasn't ready to be a solo act when she
became a solo act.  I think she probably always felt more comfortable in
the company of a ensemble of musicians.  This is what she was so delighted
about when she performed in Joe Papp's "Pirates" in the early '80s.

Yes, I have always felt that Linda understands rock and roll much,
much more than she lets on.  I would consider her version of "When
Will I Be Loved?" to be a modern rockabilly rendition, which would
explain why it was such a huge pop AND country hit.

And of course, I'd like to see her enshrined in Cleveland one of
these days--provided that the H.O.F. head honchos get their thumbs
out of their collective a**es!

I've always liked Linda's version of When will I be loved. We all know the
song was first recorded and made famous by the Everly Brothers.. no doubt Linda
hit one out of the park with her version years later.
I also noticed last week on American Idol (the theme was 60's music) a
contestant,Carrie Underwood chose to sing "When will I be Loved" by the Everly
Brothers... the arrangements, however, sounded much more like Linda's 70's and
version than the EB's.... that line "tell me, when will I be loved" sure sounded
as though Carrie's influence on that song was more Ronstadt than Everly. LOL

LOL



I'd be willing to bet that Carrie had never heard the song by the Everly
Brothers, and was happy to find a familiar song among these 1960s
nuggets.  I was listening to the Everly version today, and yes, that
arrangement was totally Ronstadt-- yet of course that was never mentioned.

But she was not the only contestant to take a song from the '60s and
perform it as as '70s song.  The version of Knock on Wood was
the '70s disco version, and the version of Breaking Up is Hard to Do
was the slowed-down ballad remake version that Neil Sedaka did
during his '70s comeback.

But wow!  that Nadia Turner did a fantastic job on Dusty Springfield's
"You Don't Have to Say you Love Me."   She will surely be one of
the final contenders, along with Mario and Bo and maybe Carrie if
she can get it together.   Well, not Mario.  I had already bet in the
office pool that he would be the final winner... then he dropped out.

True.  I was irked, however, when I read that Paula Abdul, one of
the judges there, considered Carrie's choice "safe."  Okay--it's a
song first done by perhaps the single most influential duo in rock
music history in 1960, then remade in rockabilly fashion by
undoubtedly one of the single most influential female singers in
rock music history in 1974, and it has a long-standing and imposing
reputation.  What exactly is "safe" about doing that song anyway?!

on that song was more Ronstadt than Everly. LOL

She may have been referring to the fact that her arrangement was not
that different from Linda's.

LOL,  I usually take P. Abdul's comments "with a grain of salt." .. besides,
It seems as tho she is overly medicated these days.

I'm sure I don't know what you mean by "overly medicated."

Sorry and I could not resist that one... but watching Paula Abdul on American
Idol .. she just seems a little "loopy" to me .. not all there... which is
why I assume that she might be on something.. but who knows. LOL

Can you imagine Paula Abdul singing "When Will I Be Loved"?
Or any song for that matter that is not based on choreography?

My Reply: Terry Arceneaux

I'm not that much of a Paula Abdul fan but ( When wil I be Loved ) She might be
able to pul it off. just wouldn't be as good.

I think there a lot of song other female artist can sing of Linda's just not as
well. They would have to really jam to do as well as Linda and still not touch
her.

Abdul singing "When will I be loved?" yikes. Even if the offer was made to
her I would think she would have enough sense to decline for obvious reasons.
You've got to be "top drawer" vocally to tackle anything Linda has touched...
