Linda Ronstadt - Heart Like a Wheel (1974)

Just before she became sickly sweet and erratic in her choice of songs, Linda Ronstadt recorded what's possibly her finest and most enduring album, 1974's 'Heart Like a Wheel'.

This is the perfect interpretive singer's showcase, featuring songs that seem tailor-made for Ronstadt's honeyed voice. I had a long love affair with this one... Still an old flame I can never resist.
