This is a great, fast reading autobiography by one of the best singers of the last quarter of the past century. You can read this from beginnig to end or go through random chapters and still be entertained, and educated. The stories she has... just read the book!! Too bad the voice is gone.... but we still have her recordings.

I love Linda Ronstadt’s music, but this book was a little boring. More like a diary of her experiences in life. I was looking forward to the end...It did not hold my interest very well.

SO MUCH detail about the music business, each song, the arrangements, musicians and all the ins & outs of making the records in addition to all the people who worked with Linda Ronstadt. I would have liked to read more personal info about Linda rather than just the music end of things. She didn't go into her relationships, only mentioned a little bit about Jerry Brown. She did write about her early days growing up in Arizona and her love of horses. If someone is really interested in the music industry, there is a lot of info about which songs she chose & why, the places she performed, and the many influences that caused her to explore many kinds of music. She briefly mentions her encounters with musicians and record producers, her experience with Jim Morrison and her connections with so many famous musicians from the Eagles to Emmylou Harris to Aaron Neville. Her Nelson Riddle connection and her Broadway appearances were interesting. Read full review

I've been a fan from the beginning. You can hear her voice as you read the book. Great chronicle of Linda's musical life.

Great book, easy read it’s a must read for any Linda Ronstadt fan. If you’re looking for private dish and dirt you’re not going to get it here. If you are looking for some insight into this tremendously talented young lady and her music this is a great book.
