A WINTER’S TALE
December 18, 2010 – 4:02 am
The music industry is killing itself when it no longer respects artists who helped them build their business.
LINDA RONSTADT
Ultrasonic Studios [Mid Valley Records, 1CD] bigozine2.com/roio/?p=657
Live at Ultrasonic Studios, Washington Ave, New Orleans, USA; April 7, 1990. Excellent soundboard stereo.
Did you know that last year, Warner Music removed from circulation the following Linda Ronstadt albums - Get Closer, Cry Like A Rainstorm (Howl Like The Wind), We Ran and Western Wall: The Tucson Sessions? Winter Light went out-of-print a year earlier in 2008.
This year the Japanese bootleg label Mid Valley surprised collectors with the release of a Linda Ronstadt session, Ultrasonic Studios. The cover art has a 3M tape box naming the producer as Peter Asher and the engineer as George Massenburg. The session was held in New Orleans.
This appears to have been recorded right after the success of her 1989 album, Cry Like A Rainstorm, which also included duets with Neville Brother, Aaron. One track here, Close Your Eyes, would later be re-recorded with Ronstadt as producer for Aaron Neville’s solo album Warm Your Heart. Whatever tracks that were later released were all re-recorded elsewhere or had additional work done to them. Neville’s album was recorded in California.
By the ’90s, Ronstadt had already moved far away from California Rock or Soft Rock. She’d become a mature song stylist working with Nelson Riddle and offering a trio of world music albums. But the business beckoned and she’d made one more pop album with Cry Like A Rainstorm which earned her two Grammys and sold for her record label three million copies.
This session in New Orleans might have been an attempt to repeat that formula. However, with the exception of Close Your Eyes which was another duet with Aaron Neville, the rest of the songs did not make it out until 1998. Two remain unreleased. In the interim, Ronstadt made Frenesi, produced her first album with Winter Light and recycled her Trio II recordings and released Feels Like Home.
Two tracks from the New Orleans session were finally brought out when she attempted her second self-produced album, We Ran, in 1998. But poor health led her to send for producer Glyn Johns who made We Ran a rock album, rather than a rock ‘n’ roll album that Ronstadt had originally planned. It would be the last rock album, to date, that Ronstadt recorded. Here’s why:
“…it’s very important for me to not have my middle-age be a repeat of my youth, and my old age to not be a repeat of my middle-age. Whatever it is, there’s blessings and there’s disadvantages of all those things, and I want the genuine blessings.”
She said that in 1998.

Ronstadt, 64, is no recluse. If she’s not chasing for chart action it’s because she’s been there and done that. Right now travelling and playing in big halls/arenas are not her “thing”. She’d rather be at home. Too bad her label has other ideas and not creative ones at that. Artists like Ronstadt need to be challenged to come out with something new and not made to recreate “glory days”.
Whoever passed that tape to Mid Valley, all Ronstadt fans are grateful. If anyone knows who played at the New Orleans sessions, please post the details.
