Hasten Down the Wind

Linda's best album. First bought this in '77 with some Who, Humble Pie, CSNY and Zep cassettes for a post college cross country road trip with two friends. Ended up this was the most played cassette of all of them. Nothing beat sitting around a fire in the Tetons listening to Ronstadt sing Rivers of Babylon.

Terrific vocals as always, and an introdution to two great sonwriters - Warren Zevon (pre-Werewolves) and Karla Bonoff. Still one of my fave albums, 30 years later.
