![]() A remastered version of the album with bonus tracks was released in 2008 by Rhino Records. This album was recorded in 1975 and released on May 10, 1976, by Asylum Records. She simply allows the beauty of this well-structured song to speak for itself.Warren Zevon is the second studio album by American musician Warren Zevon. ![]() She doesn’t battle the instruments she doesn’t strain for high notes. She sounds at peace with herself as she sings of foolish lovers who don’t take the time to discover love’s true meaning. Ronstadt’s interpretation is extraordinarily subtle, sly and witty. ![]() Swirling electric piano figures and a barely audible mandolin establish an irresistibly exotic ambiance. Ry Cooder’s “The Tattler” is one of the album’s two gems. ![]() Her reading could be tougher, but the music behind it - particularly the solo sparring between guitarists Andrew Gold and Waddy Wachtel - has enough bite to overcome the vocal shortcomings. The version of “That’ll Be the Day” included here neither alters my feelings for nor threatens the Buddy Holly original. I’ve always appreciated Ronstadt’s good-natured approach to her remakes of rock ‘n’ roll oldies. And in a few instances it’s as good as anything Ronstadt has done. When she is joined on the chorus by Don Henley (of the Eagles) the impact of the song’s touching and mystifying lyric is completely blunted by the beauty of the harmonizing. Here, strings and Andrew Gold’s impersonal piano accompaniment take the song all the way out of the danger zone, and Ronstadt’s carefully articulated, stodgy vocal belies her misunderstanding. In the original version, stinging, venomous guitar lines plus ethereal guitar solos accentuated Zevon’s weary vocal. While it is certainly not in a league with her masterpiece, Heart like a Wheel (and I’m beginning to believe its perfection occurs but once in an artist’s career), Hasten down the Wind is nonetheless representative of Ronstadt redivivus, of Ronstadt, the sensitive, introspective stirring we have admired all these years.Īside from the inclusion of two innocuous songs - “Lo Siento Mi Vida” and Karla Bonoff’s “If He’s Ever Near” - the album’s problems are fairly well exemplified by the totally wrongheaded interpretation of the Warren Zevon-penned title song, which delineates the chilling tale of a lover’s indecisiveness. This is Linda Ronstadt’s tenth album (including the three made with her first group, the Stone Poneys). Think instead of a gifted singer - perhaps our most gifted - who has given us (arguably, I admit) some 40 memorable songs but failed, and miserably so, to connect with much passion on her last album, Prisoner in Disguise. When I say welcome back, don’t think of John Sebastian’s awful song, or the equally awful television show it introduces.

Westley locates Buttercup, who is about to commit suicide as she believes she is married to Humperdinck. Inigo overcomes the pain and kills Rugen.

He had secretly hired Vizzini to do this before Westley interfered. He really plans to start a war with the country of Guilder by killing Buttercup and framing Guilder for the murder. When Buttercup threatens suicide if the wedding happens, Humperdinck falsely promises to find Westley. Before being knocked out, Westley spots six fingers on Rugen's right hand. Humperdinck secretly orders his sadistic vizier, Count Rugen, to take Westley to the Pit of Despair for torture on a machine Rugen invented.
