Artists starting with Linda Ronstadt/Ann Savoy

Linda Ronstadt/Ann Savoy, “Adieu False Heart” (Vanguard, 2006)
What turned out to be Ronstadt’s last studio recording before her illness thwarted her ability to perform is a fitting return to her folkie roots. Ronstadt’s dew-dappled strawberry of a lush, bright soprano intertwines magically with Savoy’s more plaintive, austere vocals over spare acoustic backing for a sweet melancholy farewell that feels like late summer twilight filtered through a little forest.
