“Prisoner in Disguise” (1975, “Prisoner in Disguise” album)
Ronstadt singing a duet with J.D. Souther may give you Lindsey Buckingham/Stevie Nicks vibes, recalling Southern Californian turbulent romantic pairings who sang gracefully together. It’s a gentle song about the familiar theme of loneliness in Ronstadt’s canon, here portrayed evocatively by the precisely weary way the songwriter and his muse trill the great couplet,“The city is no place to hide in/Everybody knows your number…” A perfect match.
