We're listenin' to more Warren today and the very first tune I heard on Pandora (yes, Pandora) was this:
I have both versions but I much prefer Warren's, if only for the immaculate slide work by David Lindley. We've featured Mr. Lindley before here at EIP, most notably this track. It don't get much better than that, Gentle Reader.
She's so many womenAh, yes. She IS "so many women." Always was, always will be. But that said, the tune brings to mind the arguably more famous... or more popular, one doesn't necessarily follow the other... cover by La Ronstadt:
He can't find the one who was his friend
So he's hanging on to half a heart
But he can't have the restless part
So he tells her to hasten down the wind

Golly, wasn't Ronstadt just lovely back then though?
ReplyDeleteI was SO in love with Linda in the mid-70s. Paula knew that, too... and she used to ask me "Do you know what the difference between Ronstadt and me is?" And I'd answer "yeah, yeah, yeah" everytime, coz she'd always say "I'm HERE."
DeleteI saw Linda at Chuck's Steakhouse in Los Alto (on the ECR near San Antonio Rd) back in about 1970 or 71.
ReplyDeleteI was immediately in love.
She does have that effect on men, doesn't she? Well, she used to... I dunno about now.
DeleteToday, definitely not so much.
