“Birds” (1972, “Linda Ronstadt” album)
This is a cover of a song by another of Linda’s contemporaries, Neil Young. (Ronstadt has covered several Young songs and sung with him on several of his records.) Young has written phenomenal and enduring songs, but this is one of his most delicate, a goodbye to a lover that is both tender and in its last lines, a bit brutal. Ronstadt’s gender switch adds a frisson of power dynamics yet retains the tone of gentle goodbye in restrained folk-flavored vocals.
