Amazon.com essential recording
After the critical and commercial smash Heart Like a Wheel, Linda Ronstadt could have had her pick of material from the day's top songwriters. Instead, she chose the wares of a couple of young artists on the rise, Warren Zevon and Karla Bonoff. Each provided her with first-rate material for Hasten Down the Wind: Zevon wrote the title track and Bonoff supplied "Someone to Lay Down Beside Me," "Lose Again," and "If He's Ever Near." Ronstadt also bravely covers songs already done definitively by others--Patsy Cline's "Crazy," Buddy Holly's "That'll Be the Day," and Tracy Nelson's "Down So Low"--and emerges not merely unscathed, but triumphant. She also presages the turn toward Spanish material her career took in the '80s with "Lo Siento Mi Vida." It's easy to see why the public went wild for Hasten, Ronstadt's first platinum album. --Daniel Durchholz

 I own them all January 26, 2008
I love Linda's voice and I own all of her solo material. There are always some great covers and originals on her albums and you can always expect great songs and musicians to be following Ronstadt.
Still Crazy (For Linda) After All These Years April 23, 2007

Bought 'Hasten Down The Wind' as an LP in college. My roommates dug her
for her sex appeal (me, too). But, that voice just blew you away. Still
does. This album (especially "Give One Heart" {love the reaggae sounding
tag to the cut} and "Try Me Again") had been spun from September through
May, when school was out. Sounded great then on the stereo, then the tape
deck and soon, the CD in the vehicle. Another gem in Ronstadt's wide
repetoire of covering familiar and new songwriter material.

While I have not always followed Linda's mucical journeys,I have found most of her work excellent."HASTEN DOWN THE WIND" is by far one of my personal favorites.Stand out tracks for me.."the tattler""give one heart""down so low""try me again"This collection was close to perfection and still puts alot of todays "song beater divas" to shame.

This is music to ride into the mountains with. I listen to this while I drive to Mt. Rainier. It gives you goosebumps. Her voice is so crystal clear - so beautiful. Whether hiking, biking, walking or just dancing around the house or backyard, this will make your heart sing.
