“Long Long Time”
Embellished with luscious strings and a quiet command, the track appeared on her second solo album, 1970’s Silk Purse, famously known for cover art of Ronstadt posing in a muddy pig pen with hogs gleefully playing beside her. It is among her most defining country-inflected collections, also containing her versions of “Lovesick Blues” (Emmett Miller, Rex Griffin, Hank Williams), “Will You Love Me Tomorrow?” (The Shirelles) and “I’m Leaving It Up to You” (Don Harris & Dewey Terry). The sparseness of “Long Long Time” highlighted her milky alto and confirmed her insightful storytelling skills early on in her career. “I’ve done everything I know to try and make you mine,” she wails, feeling the weight of defeat.
