In honor of Linda Ronstadt's birthday, July 15th ♥ ♥ ♥ I have loved her since I was a teenager and was lucky enough to see her live in 1976. I think she was one of the best female vocalists ever. She could take a song written by anyone else and make it all her own and she even made me like some Country Music. :) Happy Birthday, Linda Ronstadt! For Sight and Sound: This song is one of my favorites from the first album of hers that I ever heard. It was written by Woody Guthrie, Huddie Ledbetter and Alan Lomax and features Bernie Leadon on guitar and vocals and Herb Peterson on banjo, fiddle and vocals. From her self-titled album (1972) Ramblin' 'Round Ramblin' 'Round
