“Adonde Voy” from “Winter Light”
A good companion for this deep cut is a track from Ronstadt’s acclaimed “Winter Light” album, “Adonde Voy” (‘Where am I going?’) Going back to 1993, the inclusion of this wondrous Tish Hinojosa ballad about a lover whose thoughts are frantically scattered between memories of the beloved and immediate fears about being caught by the border patrol displays Ronstadt’s sensitivity and heart on this issue as a prevalent concern going back to her youth in Arizona. Still, too many music critics at the time brushed past her Spanish-language tracks, perhaps uncomfortable writing about them. It’s more than time for this gem to be rediscovered as it reveals not only Ronstadt’s musical career, but her heart.
