Linda Ronstadt – Just One Look: Classic Linda Ronstadt (2015) [FLAC 24bit/96kHz]

As perhaps should be expected from a double-disc collection bearing 30 tracks, Just One Look: Classic Linda Ronstadt does indeed cover most of Ronstadt’s career, beginning with the Stone Poneys’ “Different Drum” and running into the late ’90s, when she wrapped up her time with Elektra Records. This doesn’t mean each era gets equal weight, however. Just One Look emphasizes her latter-day adult contemporary material over her cracking early country-rock, a trade-off that will likely satisfy listeners familiar with Ronstadt mainly through the radio. This does mean there are some terrific works left behind her big breakthrough “You’re No Good” comes just six songs into this collection, so anything prior to that gets short shrift, but this settles into a good soft rock groove and should satisfy a listener who wants nothing but hits, and a lot of them at that.
