We Ran

Linda Ronstadt

A mature, roots-inflected rock record where Ronstadt's legendary voice meets the grit of the American West. Polished yet emotionally weathered.

It's Linda Ronstadt returning to her rock roots with the wisdom of a life fully lived and a voice that still hits like a freight train.

A weary but powerful reflection on time, place, and the ghosts of old relationships.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The expansive, nearly eight-minute sprawl of Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues where the arrangement breathes with a weary, cinematic grace.
The gut-punch transition in Dreams of the San Joaquin when the orchestration swells to match the desperation of the migrant worker's narrative.
The raw, bluesy grit Ronstadt finds in her lower register during the bridge of the John Hiatt-penned title track.
