“The Dark End of the Street” (1974, “Heart Like a Wheel” album)
Peter Asher’s production again shines in this remake of a classic soul song. The mysterious lyrics hint at a tale of ‘forbidden love’ and the need to pass each other on the street without public acknowledgment. Linda’s voice simultaneously mourns and soars over Andrew Gold’s guitar and electric piano mastery, cushioned by a gospel back-up led by no less than the formidable Cissy Houston. Ronstadt’s voice is particularly powerful here, alternating between resignation and determination. (Note: I’ve linked the recorded version, but you can also find a live version from 1973 performed prior to the album.)
