Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice (2019)

Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice documents the decades long and remarkably varied musical career of Linda Ronstadt from the 1960's into the 21st Century. What a career she had, one remarkable for its eclecticism, from folk rock in the sixties, to straddling the rock/ country divide in the 70's, to doing Gilbert and Sullivan on Broadway, recording 'the standards', a mega selling Spanish language album, performing in concert with Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt, Dolly Parton, Jackson Browne, Aaron Neville and others. Heck even The Eagles grow out of her backup band. Fairly standard form for a documentary but she's just great and this movie made me so happy so it gets an extra half star.***1/2
