Linda Ronstadt - Living in the USA (6E-155)

Artist: Linda Ronstadt
Title: Living in the USA
Catalog #: 6E-155
Label: Asylum Records
Year: 1978
Format: LP
Condition: VG+

Released in 1978, Living in the USA finds Linda Ronstadt at the commercial height of her Asylum period, fully confident in the eclectic range that set her apart from every other pop artist of the decade. Produced by Peter Asher, the album moves from Chuck Berry to Elvis Costello to a stunning reading of Alison that introduced Costello's songwriting to a mainstream American audience. Just One Look and Ooh Baby Baby round out a set that covers more ground than almost any of her contemporaries would attempt. It won the Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female. This VG+ copy plays cleanly — a peak Ronstadt title and essential for the 70s rock, country-pop, or singer-songwriter collector.
