Longtime Linda Ronstadt manager and producer Peter Asher joins host Brian Hiatt to offer an intimate look at the singers music on a new episode of our podcast Rolling Stone Music Now. Rolling Stones David Browne and Angie Martoccio (who recently interviewed Ronstadt) also join our panel to trace one of the most unique careers in Seventies music, as well-chronicled in the pages of Rolling Stone and in the new documentary Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice. People are to some extent reassessing Lindas genius and realizing just how good she was, says Asher. I have no qualms about saying, with all respect to the incredibly wonderful singers Ive worked with, just as a singer, as an interpreter of songs, Linda is the best singer Ive ever worked with in my life.
