‘Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice' is a mostly functional doc — but as a tribute to the '70s songbird, it hits the right notes. Read David Browne's review
Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice
For those who don’t know much about Ronstadt, which at this point likely means most the population under the age of 40, will be a useful primer. She wasn’t the first female rock star — Grace Slick and Janis Joplin, among others, preceded her in the arenas and on the pop charts. The fact that Ronstadt didn’t write her own material was one of several marks against her back in the day; it also didn’t help that she was friends with the Eagles, hardly the most critically revered band of their era.
As Jackson Browne recalls in the movie, Ronstadt was, from the start, a “fully developed vocal stylist,” and although her rock covers could be a tad wooden , she tackled every song as if she had written it. Watching as she rips into Betty Everett’s “You’re No Good” or melts into Hank Williams’ “I Can’t Help It If I’m Still in Love With You,” you forget that others attempted those songs before her.
