Cry Like a Rainstorm — Howl Like the Wind

Linda Ronstadt

A massive, orchestral pop statement defined by towering vocal duets and lush 1980s production. Ronstadt's voice has never sounded more powerful or technically precise.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive entry of the Skywalker Symphony Orchestra and the Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir on the title track
The effortless, honeyed vocal blend between Ronstadt and Aaron Neville during the climax of their duets
The fragile, glass-like delivery of the word 'shattered' that anchors the album's most vulnerable ballad
