“Blue Bayou”
This hit Linda Ronstadt song, a Roy Orbison standard, is deceivingly plodding at first, but once the chorus kicks in, she catapults into the stratosphere with one of her most potent vocals of her career. One thing is for certain: she knows exactly how to let a song simmer and build slowly but concisely. “I’m so lonesome all the time since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou,” she muses on this Simple Dreams cut, reminiscing on lost love and wanting to reclaim that euphoria. The way she sings, “I’m goin’ back someday, come what may, to Blue Bayou / Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on Blue Bayou,” you could almost feel the saltwater on your tongue.
