Don't Cry Now - LP

Don't Cry Now is the fourth solo studio album by Linda Ronstadt, released in 1973. It marked an important turning point in her career: her first album for Asylum Records and the beginning of her long collaboration with producer Peter Asher, who would help shape many of her most successful recordings. Musically, Don't Cry Now blends country rock, folk, and pop, showcasing Ronstadt's gift for interpreting songs written by others. Rather than focusing on original compositions, the album draws from a wide range of songwriters, including J. D. Souther, Randy Newman, Neil Young, and members of the Eagles. Notable tracks include "Love Has No Pride," "Silver Threads and Golden Needles," "Desperado," "Sail Away," and "I Believe in You."
