Linda Ronstadt – lead vocals, backing vocals (1,2, 3, 8, 12), handclaps (4).It was also the second of four number 1 Country albums for her. Her third album to go platinum, Hasten Down the Wind spent several weeks in the top three of the Billboard album charts. The album also included two songs co-written by Ronstadt, including one in Spanish (her first recorded foray into Spanish music, more than a decade before she released her first fully-Spanish album). The album included a cover of a cover: "The Tattler" by Washington Phillips, which Ry Cooder had re-arranged for his 1974 album Paradise and Lunch. The album also showcased songs from artists such as Warren Zevon ("Hasten Down the Wind") and Karla Bonoff ("Someone to Lay Down Beside Me", US #42, Easy Listening #38), both of whom would soon be making a name for themselves in the singer-songwriter world. Hasten Down the Wind contained two major hit singles: Ronstadt's covers of Buddy Holly's " That'll Be the Day" (US Pop #11, Country #27) and her reworking of the late Patsy Cline's 1961 hit, " Crazy", reaching #6 on the US Country chart in early 1977. A more serious and poignant album than its predecessors, it won critical acclaim. It represented a slight departure from 1974's Heart Like a Wheel and 1975's Prisoner in Disguise in that she chose to showcase new songwriters over the traditional country rock sound she had been producing up to that point. The album earned her a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female in 1977, her second of 13 Grammys. Ronstadt was the first female artist to accomplish this feat. Released in 1976, it became her third straight million-selling album.
