But we all wanted to flex our musical muscles on this one. At the same time, I wanted to change, yet the the thoughts of changing producer and engineer made me sweaty under the armpits. To adopt a new musical style just for the sake of it is like putting on a chicken suit - it looks ridiculous. Groups like the Talking Heads are doing real interesting stuff, but for me, I still need a song that works in a verse, chorus, verse, chorus format - like the stuff the Cretones and Elvis Costello do. A lot of the avant-garde stuff isn't the standard form - verse, chorus, verse, chorus. looks like it has dried up as far as ideas are concerned. At least my favorite things: Elvis Costello, Joe Jackson, Rockpile. The most interesting things seem to be coming out of England again. A lot of us are kind of walking around wringing our hands and wondering what the music will be like. The Eighties is a season of change, kind of like the Sixties just before rock 'n' roll exploded. I'm sure I'll be attacked: "Linda's sold out, trying to be trendy, gotten away from her roots." But, well, can't worry about what the critics say.īefore we get to the year 2000, what about the music just ahead - in the Eighties? He's part of a group called the Cretones. Next to Elvis Costello, he's writing my favorite new rock 'n' roll. You also have three songs from Mark Goldenberg. I also recorded "Party Girl" and "Girl Talk."
"Send me some more songs, just keep thinking about the money." And he sent me the song "Talking in the Dark," which has not been released here, and I love it. I've never communicated with him directly, but I heard that someone asked him what he thought and he said he'd never heard it but that he'd be glad to get the money. What did Costello think of your cover of his song "Alison"? It's much more rock 'n' roll, more raw, more basic.Įlvis Costello, who I think is writing the best new stuff around, wrote three of the songs. In this album, almost all the songs are new. Souther song, a Lowell George song, a couple of oldies, kick in the ass and put it out there. This album doesn't follow what seems to be my prescribed pattern: a J.D. RONSTADT: There is almost no overdubbing. PLAYBOY: How does the new album Mad Love, reflect your recent experiences and changes? Her fans couldn't get enough information about her. She sang the Hammerstein/ Romberg tune "When I Grow Too Old to Dream," covered Smokey Robinson's "Ooo Baby Baby." Chuck Berry's "Back in the U.S.A.," as well as Warren Zevon's "Mohammed's Radio" and Elvis Costello's "Alison." By that time, she had appeared on the covers of many major periodicals, from Redbook to Rolling Stone to Time. That album further demonstrated Ronstadt's versatility and growth. hit the stores in 1978 with an initial shipment of more than 2,000,000 copies. And when she sings a country tune such as "I Can't Help It (if I'm Still in Love with You)," there is no doubt that Ronstadt has something for everyone. She sings Mexican, Motown, reggae - and the girl can rock 'n' roll. She lunges ahead into the risky territory of punk and knocks out a haunting version of Elvis Costello's "Alison." She belts out love songs like "Loose Again" and "Down So Low" with the authority of someone who has seen and done it all. She reaches way back for standards such as "Old Paint" and "I Never Will Marry" and sings them with innocence. She has sung almost every form of music except, perhaps. Intrusion of New Wave came from Elvis Costello in the male-vocalist and composer categories and Joe Jackson on keyboards. Other notable new entries were The Cars, Blondie and Dire Straits. Also in the group voting, Supertramp soared to number two from nowhere last year ditto the Doobie Brothers to number three and Bruce Springsteen to number seven. Paul McCartney took over top- composer slot from Billy Joel and Led Zeppelin deposed Steely Dan as the favorite group - both up from number eight last year. several newcomers turned up in the female-vocalist category - Deborah Harry at number three, Rickie Lee Jones at number five, Nicolette Larson at number eight and Karla Bonoff at number 14. With a few exceptions, it was business as usual across the board, with most of last year's winners right back on top.
