SAVLW is on the Raven multi-album CD. I find the mastering as good as on my BGO similar set, both are better AQ than "Best of Capitol".
Discogs is your friend/rabbit hole...

I have got DoW in the post today.
Track 18 on CD2 is indeed Linda singing SAVLW. BUT, big BUT, the soundtrack slapped on top is entirely different to the slightly-psychedelic haunting song we know and love. Basically its Linda singing the tune mixed with an actual or pseudo-1960s action fast racy spy-type track on top, very amateur, very horrible, cheap, definitely not a "diamond".
Seek it out, but be warned!

Hello all. Since the conversation turned again here to the 'Linda thought she wasn't a good singer' theme I thought I'd throw in my two-bob's worth. I've loved her music since I bought HLAW as a 16-year-old, having heard and liked You're No Good on the radio, went back and bought the earlier solo albums on the strength of it with my Saturday job earnings etc. Beyond loving her music I also really appreciate that she led me to Emmylou, Maria Muldaur, Wendy Waldman, Valerie Carter, Jackson and Warren etc. So, that's my history with LR.
The 'I'm no good' thing falls down for me in that if she truly believed it she never would have left Tucson for LA, plugged away at it for all those years before breaking through, done the gigs, got and kept the bands together, appeared on the TV variety shows. I understand that she may not have liked how she sounded, thought she could have done better and so on - we can all feel like that about anything creative we tackle. But deep down, for all the self criticism, she must have had confidence that she had enough talent to make it as a professional singer to have even given it a shot, to have hung with that whole Troubadour crowd as one of their peers. So I don't understand it and to be honest it irritates me. I may be doing her a disservice and misinterpreting what she is actually saying, but these days my attitude to her attitude is 'if you honestly thought you were bad why did you even bother' and then I put on one of her albums or a playlist and enjoy it immensely while thinking 'God she can sing'.

Imagine if she did the opposite and bragged what a great singer she was. That "I'm the greatest singer that ever was." That wouldn't go over well either. Linda needed to make a living and had a god given talent most don't have. She said she didn't know how to do anything else. There are better singers out there than Linda who nobody knows about because life happens to them or they just don't have the perseverance or even the luck she has had. Her self-criticism (in her own mind) may exonerate her from what she thinks are flawed performances, mishaps along the way. She is sensitive to what others think and rejecting oneself first cuts all others off at the pass. It is a game we all play at one level or another. Linda just does it publicly. No one should take it personally or think they are a misguided fan of someone's music that doesn't like it themselves. In essence we would all need a shrink. The psychology of it all just adds to her charming vulnerability. Yes dear, "we know that you're no good."

Linda's self-deprecation extended to her appearance on occasion. There is a magazine interview in the 1970s where she says her publicity photos & concert appearances don't reveal extensive "8 layers" of makeup to cover acne, and her constant battle against weight gain, eating wrong food for comfort etc. erik may know the article.

It was in Linda's interview in Katherine Orloff's book "Rock 'n Roll Woman" ronstadt-linda.com/intwom2.htmDo you think that rock and roll is a lonely business? It's incredibly lonely. Everybody I know is lonely. It has to be that way because of the life-style, all the traveling, the paranoia, the fact that your ass is on the line when you go on stage. It's on the line every single night. I never get over stage fright. I never know how it's going to be. Even when I'm on stage, I never know whether it's going to turn sour or not when I'm right in the middle of doing it. So I'm always on edge. There's always that pressure that I might fall over the edge. That just has to affect relationships. Rock and roll is a lot warmer than the movie business. I have been able to make really close friends with other women in music. Most of the actresses I know are not able to do that with other actresses. The competition is on such an absurd level for looks and charm and glamour. The glamour part of rock and roll irritates me, too. In a way, I'm all for glamour because it's an escape. It can take your mind off the mundane and the painful things of life, but on the other hand, it's blown way out of proportion. It has become an idol and it doesn't deserve that position. But glamour makes you feel like you have an identity, and you're totally safe from everything, you're privileged. If you're beautiful, you're even more privileged, but in a way you're debilitated if you're beautiful. I've never been beautiful. I've never felt like a beauty because I don't have good skin, I don't have good hair, I don't have good features. But I have felt glamorous. I feel like I project an illusion of glamour. But then when you do that, you end up competing with yourself. If I meet a guy and he's seen my album cover pictures and thinks I'm real pretty, or seen me on television at my best with eight tons of makeup to make my nose look straight and thin and make it look like I have cheekbones and long eyelashes, and then he sees me in person and sees that I really have a terrible case of acne and my hair is always a mess, and I have a terrible problem trying to keep my weight down, I'm afraid he's going to be disappointed and be turned off by it, and so that makes me nervous when people come close. I get crazy. So you end up competing with yourself and the competition is bad enough with other people in the world. When you have to compete with yourself, it's a nightmare.

The live version of "She's a Very Lovely Woman" and other live cuts really show why she was the "Queen of Country Rock". The above live version is kick butt. I really like the song a lot but it does have a dark psychedelic feel which I generally don't like. In this case, it is Linda's vocals and the rock parts of the song I love. eddiejinnj

Libby Holman also sang it decades earlier.

There's a Redbook(?) magazine interview with Linda describing how they had to do a cover pic of her, while she had flu. Another interview after a HLAW tour, when Linda was recovering from a strep infection & others saying she had sinus trouble. Some health issues were from lifestyle harshness, some from bad choices. Its a marvel she was as hardy as she was & is, the baby boomer generation stars didn't have medicines & treatments available today.

I just looked up the Woodstock CD in Wikipedia and there is no mention of SAVLW on its track list. eddiejinnj

Thanks eddie. 'You're no good' gave me some food for thought with good points though I think there's a lot of grey between 'I'm no good' and 'I'm the best'. I just wish she seemed to enjoy her career more, though of course there's periods - the standards albums, Mexican songs, Trio - that she seems to have found much more satisfying than her output during her heyday.

Have group the three threads about this song. Perhaps people will find what they are looking for now that it's all one thread. Thank you.
