This was the first we'd heard of Linda Ronstadt, a baroque-pop ballad written by Mike Nesmith of the Monkees. Long before they got together on "Trio," Emmylou Harris turned up singing harmonies on this highlight of "Heart Like a Wheel," a melancholy take on a Hank Williams classic with pedal steel guitarist Sneaky Pete Kleinow underscoring the heartache. Either way, she manages to make the song her own without straying too far from the overall vibe of those earlier recordings just on the strength of her vocal.Ronstadt's version makes you feel the hurt with more conviction, from the trembling vulnerability of the opening lines to the full-throated pleas of "please don't go" coming out of the bridge. Rondstadt had some of her best moments with material that had a more emotional element, regardless of genre.

The two records showcase Ronstadt’s stylistic versatility, hopping across genres from new wave to country to pop and rock, covering some of the most popular standards of her heyday and making them completely her own.
