“Cry Me a River” (2004, “Humming to Myself” album)
In 2004 Ronstadt revisited the standards she famously jumped over the rock-and-roll fence to sing in the early 1980s. Back then she embraced Nelson Riddle’s big band orchestral arrangements; here she went into cabaret mode, singing with a sterling jazz combo. “Cry Me a River” is one of the most famous of all torch songs, and certainly synonymous with Julie London’s husky tones. Ronstadt takes her own path, and conjures up a late-night potion of wistfulness and strength.
