Book description
En esta memoria, la cantante icónica Linda Ronstadt entreteje una historia cautivante de sus orígenes en Tucson, Arizona, y su ascenso a la fama en la escena musical del sur de California en los años 60 y 70. Al rastrear la cronología de su extraordinaria vida, Linda Ronstadt, una artista cuya carrera ha abarcado cinco décadas e incluye una amplia gama de estilos musicales, se entreteje una historia cautivante de sus orígenes en Tucson, Arizona, y su ascenso a la fama en la escena musical del sur de California de los años sesenta y setenta. Nacida en una familia de músicos, la infancia de Linda estuvo llena de música que iba desde Gilbert y Sullivan a la música popular mexicana, al jazz y a la ópera. Su curiosidad artística fue precoz, y ella y sus hermanos comenzaron a tocar su música a cualquiera que quisiera escucharlos. Ahora, en este libro de memorias maravillosamente escritas, Ronstadt cuenta la historia de su viaje musical amplio y completamente único. Ronstadt llegó a Los Ángeles cuando el movimiento folk-rock estaba empezando a florecer, preparando así el escenario para el desarrollo del country-rock. Como parte del círculo de artistas afines que tocaron en el famoso club Troubadour en West Hollywood, ella contribuyó a definir el estilo musical que dominó la música mexicana y estadounidense en la década de 1970. Una de sus primeras bandas de respaldo pasó a convertirse en los Eagles, y Linda se volvió en la artista femenina más exitosa de la década. En Sueños Sencillos, Ronstadt revela el viaje ecléctico y fascinante que condujo a su éxito duradero, incluyendo algunas historias detrás de muchas de sus queridas canciones. Y describe todo con una voz tan hermosa como la que cantó "Heart Like a Wheel" de un modo nostálgico, elegante y auténtico.
