Saw Bette last night in London, she was amazing - funny, heartfelt, wacky and colourful - in great voice - she had people, including me dancing in their seats.
I had meet and greet tickets, spent 5 minutes chatting to her backstage and had a photo taken with her (which will be available to download tomorrow I think). Overall a wonderful evening.

Although I was grossly underwhelmed with the Duets cover .... Boring boring tired photo that's been around for many years, typeface and colours .... No no no. New Trio deserves much better

thanks for the news - I emailed Rhino who came back with a "we can't confirm anything at the moment" response but good to hear. I hope they do something nice with the packaging and cover, there are plenty of outtakes from the original photo sessions I'm sure!

I love the Trio, look - she still very much has that hairstyle as recently as the Obama meeting.
The backdrop is over processed and tweaked, it doesn't really look like that but I guess that its supposed to be "old-timey"
Overall though I love all the promo and packaging for Trio - very stylish!

Linda shines when she sings the standards, you can hear the love she has for this music in her voice

Linda's version is perfect, no OTT vocal acrobatics to disguise a shaky voice .... It's clear like a bell

I was leaning towards Alison, or Blowing Away on LITUSA

On the other hand, look at how much makeup Dolly has on - her cheeks are almost the same colour as her blouse . I love that pic though!

yes, that was it, the VH1 special - I remember her being interviewed in a chair with the bridge in the background through the window. It was very good, and I'm surprised I can't find it online anywhere! although there are a few short clips on here

Its a little quiet on here so I thought I'd start a thread ....
am I imagining or was there in the early 90s a "TV special" (for want of a better word) - A&E Lifetime Intimate Portrait on Linda Ronstadt. I'm sure I had this on VHS - i've searched on YouTube and nothing ...
anyone?

I much prefer Valerie Carter's vocals on the T2 tracks on Feels Like Home, they are less intrusive than Dolly's .... Don't get me wrong, I love Dolly but Valerie kicks ass on those tracks. I've never heard her solo stuff, must give it a try!

My Dear Companion is a lovely song, but I'm not familiar with much of her other work. Very sad but she lived a good long life it seems.

Very well deserved, that album and the music it contains is timeless. And to say pop music has deteriorated since is an understatement - I can barely listen to anything from new artists ..... All auto tuned mindless drivel with nonsensical lyrics. Always. Few exceptions of course but they are few and far between....

Linda showing off her powerhouse voice on songs like "So Right So Wrong", "Trouble Again" "High Sierra" etc .... I love! Sure wish she could still be belting those tunes now.

Yes I know it was mentioned a while ago but now with both Emmy & Dolly mentioning it plus Linda talking about various record companies having stuff in the works I have to believe!

She looks good, definitely lost weight which I'm sure helps with mobility. Would love to see one of these talks
