In her own way, Linda Ronstadt has always defied the rules of the music business. A popular vocalist with an impeccable ear for songs and arrangements, Ronstadt has long leaped from genre to genre, bucking popular trends and creating new ones. Imagine, a rock star who personified the mellow Southern California sound of the '70s turning to pop standards, traditional Mexican recordings and opera!
FEELS LIKE HOME marks the glorious comeback of the Linda Ronstadt that became a superstar in the first place. Returning to her country/bluegrass roots and joined on five cuts by long-time collaborator Emmylou Harris, Ronstadt has made one of the strongest country-rock recordings of her entire career. The album's spirit is perfectly captured on "Blue Train," a mid-tempo country rocker that is a forlorn affair, immediately enveloping the listener.
That Ronstadt has not abandoned her rock roots or her sharp interpretive skills is evident throughout FEELS LIKE HOME, particularly on the gorgeous cover of Neil Young's "After The Goldrush," as well as the wonderfully understated mandolin and acoustic guitar intro to Tom Petty's "The Waiting"--a song seemingly tailor-made for her. That Ronstadt retains her gift for assembling solid gold musical outfits and arranging them to perfection, can be discerned from the list of virtuoso players who appear on FEELS LIKE HOME.

Professional Reviews

Rolling Stone (4/6/95, p.65) - 3.5 Stars - Very Good - "...armed with the wisdom of 20 years' experience, Ronstadt tears holes in standard-issue rock and country songs....[FEELS LIKE HOME] shows that Linda Ronstadt is too ambitious to repeat herself..."

Entertainment Weekly (3/17/95, p.88) - "...Rondstadt's most straight-forward album in a decade is, unsurprisingly, her best. Relying on her exquisite k.d.-meets-Aretha-style voice and the same...California folk rock that made her a '70s superstar, she sounds invigorated..." - Rating: A-

Musician (6/95, p.76) - "...the topography has changed with time--there's as much synth as pedal steel, and more lush contours than rough edges--but the spirit is unaltered..."

New York Times (Publisher) (1/6/96, p.C16) - Included on Stephen Holden's list of the Top 10 Albums of '95 - "The country and folk-flavored material on this handsomely arranged solo record...matches her voice perfectly..."
