She recorded a whole Christmas CD of songs sung softly as well an album of children's lullabies. Listen to 'Don't Know Much', 'Adios', 'I Keep it Hid', 'Shattered', and 'Goodbye My Friend' off her later 'Cry Like a Rainstorm.' CD. Many of the songs on the Nelson Riddle LPs of the 1980s were sung softly. And listen to her vocal control/dynamics between the loud and soft portions of 'Blue Bayou' and 'Desperado' and try to tell us she can't sing softly. But there are some softer songs in the deeper 'album cuts' during that period. Sure, her popular 70s and early 80s rocker songs are sung loudly - that's rock 'n roll. Patsy Cline’s (by way of Willie Nelson) Crazy. Consider the watertight repertoire: The Warren Zevon title track. I don't agree with Ronstadt's politics but this easily qualifies as the stupidest comment on this post. Part of her impeccable string of mid-1970s albums that defined California’s soft-rock scene, the Grammy-winning Hasten Down the Wind is Ronstadt at her bestand that’s saying something. either you've only ever listened to her songs that get played on your local oldies radio station or you're deaf. Ronstadt was from the school of loud singing. And that's 1960s boot camp, like you see in "Full Metal Jacket." Doubles sessions football practice was harder and our coaches were meaner than Gunnery Sgt. A couple of my teammates Marine veterans of the Vietnam War and they told me that boot camp was a cake walk in comparison. 5 LINDA RONSTADT Hasten Down The Wind 6 FLEETWOOD MAC Fleetwood Mac 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36. We also all agreed that double sessions were the hardest physical activities we experienced in our lives. We decided it had something to do, maybe a lot, with growing up without air conditioning. I have since discussed the circumstances of double session with my former teammates and brother, who went on to play big-time college football, as a starting defensive lineman, at Stanford. When I tell kids now that is what we did, they flat-out don't believe me. We thought we were pretty tough, and we were right. We thought of ourselves as warriors because we could endure two brutally violent football practices every day in sweltering heart without drinking ANY water. It was thought that you had to teach your body to get by without water in harsh circumstances, and that if you could do so you could withstand the other harsh rigors of playing football. The "hydrate or die" science/philosophy was unknown. I am not exaggerating, or lying, or mis-remembering. In four years of playing football I had, by my own count, two cups of water during August double sessions. In August my football team had two practices per day, what we called "double sessions," each lasting two hours inn 90-plus degree heat with heat indexes that must have been in the lower 100s. late 565803 just 564243 down 563226 form 562705 original 561036 different. It was all I knew, so it didn't seem so bad at the time. I grew up without air conditioning, in Chicago, where summers are very hot and humid - a heat index in the low 100s is not unusual.
