Linda Ronstadt's Asylum Records Debut: Don't Cry Now Features All-Pro Session Players Plus Covers of the Eagles, Bonnie Raitt, and Randy Newman

Mastered from the Original Tapes, Now Out of Print: Mobile Fidelity's Numbered-Edition Gold CD Presents  1973 Album in Extraordinary Sound 

Don't Cry Now, Linda Ronstadt's first record for Asylum, solidified her position as one of the day's premiere female pop vocalists and interpreters. This is one of the most exceptional-sounding female vocalist recordings of the 1970s. The album spent more than a year on the Billboard charts, and peaked at No. 45.

Guest appearances include guitar work by both the Eagles' Glenn Frey and super-sessionman Larry Carlton, as well as harmonica work by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's Jimmy Fadden, bass and drums by Lee Sklar and Russ Kunkel, respectively. And the legendary Sneaky Pete adds tasteful pedal steel accents throughout.

Remastered from the original master tapes, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition Gold CD sounds exquisite and reveals the critical nuances and shades of Ronstadt's voice. Don't Cry Now is part of the label's effort to present the iconic singer's work as it was meant to be heard.
