1972 Green label original with hype sticker on shrink. Linda Ronstadt's "Silk Purse" is that album, which showcases the singer's dazzling country-infused vocal stylings. Her impeccable interpretations of standout tracks like "Long, Long Time," a poignant ballad that Ronstadt delivers with heartbreaking power. Other highlights include a spirited rendition of Jerry Lee Lewis' "Love Sick Blues" and the melancholy "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" Ronstadt's backing band, including future Eagles member Don Henley on drums, provides a lively and dynamic accompaniment throughout the album. "Silk Purse" marked a turning point in Ronstadt's career, as she began to move away from the folk-rock sound of her early work and more towards a country and pop-infused sound. It remains an essential album in her discography and a must-listen for fans of classic country and rock music.
