Reply to: Re: SV: Zevon (was Re: other voices - Linda Ronstadt) One of the Zevon websites (http://members.aol.com/zevonfan1/private/zevon.htm) has a great interview culled from Goldmine. A lengthy, and fascinating look at the Excitable Boy. Can't remember if it covers Stravinsky

Linda Ronstadt - another great voice, full of quivering vibratto, but devoid of sincerity and emotion. You got that right! Especially obvious on that song she did about the windstorm, "Blew By You". At least it sounded like that's what she thought it was.

It's on Ronstadt's Sweet Dreams album. I'm not sure which one of Warren's its on but it really is a ZEVON cut. Give him what credit he is due is my motto. I've played the Ronstadt Version a couple of time with an intro something to the likes of and here Linda Ronstadt coverin Warren Zevon's

Oh, good, a Linda Ronstadt thread. Go back and check out her first Capital record (I believe) with "Birds," "I Fall to Pieces," "I Still Miss Someone," and a bunch of other good songs. That's the record when I first discovered her, around the fall of 73, and it's still a minor classic in my book.

I've only heard one cut from Trio II ("High Sierra" a song that I am incredibly tired of that has become some sort of required cover tune over the past few years... Interesting comment, as I'm not aware of that many versions; there's Ronstadt's and Chesapeake's, and I seem to remember an
