For Sentimental Reasons

Linda Ronstadt

The final chapter of a trilogy recorded with Nelson Riddle. Lush, orchestral pop standards delivered with a velvet touch and mid-century elegance.

A sophisticated and tender embrace of mid-century romanticism.

Moments Worth Listening For
The lush, sweeping string introduction to the title track that feels like a curtain rising on a 1940s film.
The way her voice softens to a near-whisper on the final notes of 'When You Wish Upon a Star'.
The playful, light-footed swing of the brass section during the bridge of 'Straighten Up and Fly Right'.
