Oreos and Love Gone Wrong: A Heart To Heart with Linda Ronstadt

These days they cast Linda Ronstadt's anguish in gold. Heartbreak gives her the Midas touch.

Inspired by a melancholy muse, she continues to produce music that is both staggeringly sad and strong. She doesn't have the tortured genius of Joni or the raspy charm of Bonnie Raitt, but she reigns as the rock queenof love-gone-wrong.
