Review of Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice (2019) by Ginak — 25 Sep 2019

What an amazing and enjoyable documentary this is. I never paid much attention to Linda Ronstadt during her singing career, but I am certainly happy that I was able to re-live it through this film. Luckily many of her performances were captured on tape, so there is a rich legacy to draw on.

The film, like the singer herself, is deceptive in that it seems artless, but, of course, none of her music was. The story of her career, told mainly by showing her performances with some interviews and commentary, was simply 95 minutes of pure pleasure.
