Adieu False Heart

No other vocalist has had a more diversified career than Linda Ronstadt. She began her career in the mid-'60s with the folk-rock group the Stone Poneys. In 1969, with the release of Hand Sown... Home Grown, Linda became the first female singer to release an alt-country album. Linda achieved her greatest commercial success in the mid-'70s when she became the first female rock superstar and became the top-selling female vocalist for that decade. Her long string of platinum albums continued throughout the '80s with several varied projects. These included three albums of standards with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra, an album of mariachi standards, and a trio project with Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris. She ended the decade with a return to popular music featuring her duets with Aaron Neville. Linda's success extended into the '90s as well, starting off with a Grammy win for Don't Know Much and ending the decade with a Grammy nomination for Western Wall and a win with Trio II. Now Linda has collaborated with Cajun music artist Ann Savoy on Adieu False Heart. The duo shares vocal duties on the album's first single, a cover of 'Walk Away Renee'. Elsewhere, Ronstadt takes the lead on versions of Richard Thompson's 'King of Bohemia', Julie Miller's 'I Can't Get Over You' and John Jacob Niles' 'Go Away From My Window.' Savoy, meanwhile, sings lead on Thompson's 'Burn's Supper', Arthur Smith's 'Adieu False Heart', David L. Greely's 'Marie Mouri' and Bill Monroe's 'The One I Love Is Gone'. Musicians include Joel Savoy (acoustic guitar, fiddle), Sam Broussard, Chas Justus (acoustic guitar), Sam Bush (mandolin), Andrea Zonn (violin), Stuart Duncan (fiddle), Krista Wilkinson (viola), Kristin Wilkinson (strings), Dirk Powell (harmonica, accordion, bass guitar) and Byron House (upright bass).
