About this album

Don't Cry Now is the album where Linda Ronstadt fully refined the country-rock style that made her one of the era’s defining interpreters. Released in 1973, it blends pop, folk and country influences with a voice that can sound wounded, defiant and effortless in the same phrase. The set includes memorable versions of songs such as Desperado and Silver Threads and Golden Needles, showing her gift for reimagining material rather than simply covering it. Backed by seasoned West Coast players, the album helped strengthen Ronstadt’s reputation as a major force in American roots-pop and a key bridge between country and mainstream rock.
