Rated 4.5 out of 5 star by AllMusic Guide


Linda Ronstadt's self-titled third album captured the singer moving away from the rootsier charms of her first two albums, toward a more polished take on country-rock. Supported by the Eagles throughout the record, Ronstadt turns in a strong performance, aided by a fine selection of material, including "Rock Me on the Water," "Crazy Arms," "I Still Miss Someone," and "I Fall to Pieces."
(Stephen Thomas Erlewine - AllMusic Guide)

Linda Ronstadt is the third solo album by Linda Ronstadt, released in 1971 on the Capitol Records label. Prior to recording of the album, Ronstadt hired Glenn Frey to assemble a touring band; Frey did so with members of Don Henley’s band Shiloh, who were signed to Amos Records at the same time as Frey’s previous band, Longbranch Pennywhistle. The touring band, augmented by pedal steel guitarist Sneaky Pete Kleinow and producer John Boylan on guitar, accompanied Ronstadt on six of the album’s ten tracks, including three that were recorded live at The Troubadour nightclub in West Hollywood, California. The other members of the original Eagles lineup, Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner, appeared on other tracks as session musicians, with Meisner accompanying Ronstadt on backing vocals with the live band on “Birds” and “Rescue Me”. Frey, Henley, Leadon and Meisner formed the Eagles, with Ronstadt’s blessing, after the album’s release. Other notable session musicians on the album include fiddler Gib Guilbeau, pedal steel guitarist Buddy Emmons, and Herb Pedersen on guitar, banjo and backing vocals. Although the album peaked at #163 on Billboard's album chart, it is considered to be a front-runner in the country rock music genre.
