- This video is posted as part of a celebration of Linda's immense talent. If you want to post INTELLIGENT thoughts about Linda, please do. If you are here to post IDIOTIC trash, don't bother, I will delete it.
Thank you and enjoy the music.
I'm not here to post any comments at all. I'm here to enjoy the incredible music of a lady whose voice I've been in love with ever since the first time I ever heard it!
Yes indeed, she has me in a spell that is unbreakable.
People will still be singing this amazing Tom Kimmel song 100 years from now. And they'll also be remembering and listening to the jewel that is Linda Ronstadt....
Like Elvis, her gift to us all is her magnificent voice. I hope she continues to share it.
I have to praise Linda for not selling out for the sake of a hit record. She has kept all of her integrity thru the years - and as anyone who reads the covers of the "Rags" while in the check out line can attest - keeping your integrity intact nowdays is impossilbe (even for a successful career that spans only a couple of years) but to do it for many, many years is quite an accomplishment. With Linda that place inside her where the music comes from has never changed - I hope it never does.
Linda has one of the most beautiful and tender voices, ever heard....Too bad that she can't sing today..., but, we still love and support her, no matter what...
It is the tenderness I love about Linda ❤
I can'r believe it . Here I have been a Linda Ronstadt fan and I really stopped listening to her stuff after 1984. This is great !!! I have to listen to more of her after 84
God how I will miss seeing Linda in concert... She is one of the very few who could improve on her awesome recorded songs. Goosebumps..............
Amazing singer! No matter what illness trys to get the best of her! Fight hard LINDA!
The first time I heard this song, it just blew me away, I was on that blue train at that time in my life so I felt the emotion of the lyrics in real time, that beautiful haunting voice and drop dead gorgeous to boot, makes me all the more depressed about her current circumstances Godspeed Linda Ronstadt, you're a one-of-a-kind Talent... Thankyou!
I pray for Linda Ronstadt ❤😂❤ it is a rough life on the t
Road every day but she and the rest played on
Linda, one of the true singers, she is a queen!
Love anything she has done. Linda is a national treasure!
I second that emotion! She is just simply unmatched in my opinion. Dolly said Linda was the best of our generation, Emmylou said," i thought i was hot stuff until i heard Linda". Linda's voice was otherworldly, a gift from God for all the world to enjoy. Thank you God for sharing Linda with us and watching over her.
I have to admit I get jealous when I see she only won 11 Grammys. But she our home town girl. Also I have to remember all the category’s she has won and that is extra special. She never sang for awards. Funny how I let it get to me. Oh well.
I so like your comment. It sums up Linda. She has this power-house voice -that can match Mick Jagger on Tumbling Dice and The Holllies on Just one Look but can still be quiet when required. Her version of Dedicated to the one I Love sums ths up. This pretty, fragile song was sung by Michele rather than Mama Cass because Mama's voice would have overwhelmed it. Linda sang it and did not overwhelm it because she held back. She sings gently when required and it is so finely judged,
Heard this for the first time and I thought I knew Linda Ronstadt. This is gorgeous - her voice and the guys
una mckillen
I
First time I’m hearing this song...it’s BEAUTIFUL....
This is one of my favourite tracks Linda has recorded. This version is beautiful, thanks for sharing. Such a talented lady.
Thank you Linda for introducing us to some great songwriters, and singing so beautifully. I listened to the Winter Light and Feels Like Home Cds start to finish over and over. ☮️❤️
Great addition. I missed her here in Salt Lake 8/24/07. I have seen her live 3 times, one time in 1974 right in the front row at the U of Utah Ballroom. What a voice. What a hard working musician.
I agree, when this came out, I heard it coming over the radio one moonlit night and I felt a spiritual experience with this song. It is very melancholy!
Love it, She is the one and no one will be like her.
Thank you for posting such great song
I lovw this song and never understood why it and the album were not a bigger success - it's a much undiscovered Rondtadt treasure.
To those who say that Linda's vocal is not quite up to par here, let's keep in mind that she did this performance at 7 o'clock in the morning. Think about that, wake up, clear your throat, go to the studio and try to sing like you have had hours to prepare.
All that considered, I still find this particular performance very sweet. Even when she isn't at her best, she is still light years above so many.
Miley Cyrus, anyone?
I love these live performances of Ms. Ronstadt as one who deeply regrets not having become a groupie, and attended every concert or show she performed in the metropolitan of New York. Listening to live performances when she had a cold or perhaps just had "morning voice" makes her all the more human and present to me.
Thank you so much for capturing one such performance.
I agree. Her most haunting vocal. I played this song over and over from the Trio album.
What a singer,what a song and what a great album FEELS LIKE HOME. To me she is the voice of a lifetime. I love her so much. Sadly we cannot hear that wonderful voice again because of her illness but if she ever reads this girl you meant and mean so much to all your fans. You are unique and so much part of all our lives.
Thank You.
Nobody sings the way Linda did. Still my first choice of road music and anytime since the Stone Pony days. Seeing her perform remains on my bucket list.
love this song , i play the album track all time thanks for posting
Linda's voice is like a reliable friend, one that you can count on for quality and the kindling of memories. Feels Like Home was an underrated album but for me was 'wall to wall' great!
Well lets see.....Linda is a legend....has had many top hits...has sang many differernt types of music...has endured the test of time...has sang with many legends...and who are you again!
I have heard this song only a few times on the radio mini mini years ago and I just spoke into the microphone on the Internet and said did Linda Ronstadt sing a song about a train and here it is blue train by Linda Ronstadt what a beautiful song by a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice
Such a beautiful beautiful voice thank you Linda
Linda belongs in the Rock N Roll Hall of fame!
Wish I could see all the words to this song, THANKYOU Linda for never giving up & inspiring all of us.
Watching the long faces
Riding this run down track
And the lost places
From a dream that never brings them back
And the sad truth is nothing but a cold hard fact
I'm riding the blue train
Over the miles yet to cover
A ghost in a hurry to fade
I'm taking it one way to nowhere
Afraid you might be there
To find me inside this blue train
Counting the burned bridges
Trailing this rusted wreck
As our back pages
Scatter in the dust we left
Like a pearl necklace
Fallen from around your neck
I'm riding the blue train
Over the miles yet to cover
A ghost in a hurry to fade
I'm taking it one way to nowhere
Afraid you might be there
To find me inside this blue train
Away down the low road
A ticket to an empty room
A rendezvous unknown
I'm riding the blue train
Over the miles yet to cover
A ghost in a hurry to fade
I'm taking it one way to nowhere
Afraid you might be there
To find me inside this blue train
Your gorgeous Voice, just beautiful, and your lovely eyes, Hey I ordered your book today, looking forward to reading your words Linda
Me too
God Bless you Linda wherever you are ,for me you are the greatest voice of this planet!!!
Lost a loved in 1992...heard your song in 1995 that helped to get through some tough years...rediscovered it today after 20 years :-)
Love this song. She's an amazing person.
Wow. This performance reproduces the recording so well, at first I thought it was sync'd -- until you miss Emmylou's vocals.
Just a lovely rendition of this tune by the lovely Linda!
Thanks for the info! I'm thinking back to the first time I heard her, when she was with Stone Pony--1960's, "Different Drum". Powerful voice!
Firstly can I thank you about decision to delete trash etc. There is always a place for constructive criticism but not some of the idiotic and sometimes defamatory comments that some idiots think is clever.
Off my soapbox and back to Linda, she is without a doubt one of the best female singers around today, she is actually my favourite female vocalist. One of her many great songs sung by a great singer.
God I love this song!
Love this SONG... ONE OF HER BEST !
This album brings me bitter sweet memories. I love it.
Linda is such a sweet Spirit Guide.
My second Female concert Inspiration....I Love You Linda..thank you for your Beauty inside and Out...
She is a gift to all of us and a remarkable woman. Love all of her music !! Thanks for posting this.
I hope she has one more album left to give us....best voice ever!!!
I am sorry that this song did not crack the Top 40...for my money it is her best vocal performance..
I heard the radio version of this song for years with no clue it was her. Great song!!
Thank-you! This is my favourite song from both Trio II and Feels Like Home. The only thing missing was Emmylou's amazing voice. It's always a treat to see Linda Ronstadt perform. Thank-you.
God I love you so much , it breaks my heart you can't sing anymore , you're my favorite of all time Linda , I miss you so much ! !
One of my playlist staples when I was DJing on "The Blues Cafe" on KDLL, 91.9FM, Kenai, Alaska.
Great song, brilliant artist
She is the most gorgeous singer.
thank you for posting this - chills!
Wow!! I have never seen this! My beautiful Linda!! 💕💕
This is what you call TRUE talent. She sounds the same live as she does on a record. Truly amazing voice and an amazing lady. It's heartbreaking that her beautiful voice has been silenced by the ravages of Parkinson's Disease.
I think she actually sounded BETTER in concert since she had time to perfect her songs while on tour.
A very beautiful song :)
My fave song of hers.
I have been in love with Linda for years .Linda , I wish you would find this note.Adam Mitchel was my old friend and yours. Since the Stone Ponies I have been a fan like so many others ,then when you did that stint on TV with "Its been a long time" totally great. I guess I'll will just grow old with the dream of thanking you for so much great loving music. Jim Web must agree with this . Dave Nicol
Although I do not agree with her liberal politics she is undoubtedly the most versatile vocalist with a tone and pitch that soothes the savage beast. I saw her live back in the old days, the HEART LIKE A WHEEL tour where I happily discovered how dedicated she is to her craft and respectably treating musicians as her peers. She told a story of playing here a while back and the owner was angry and poured a pitcher of beer over her head! Thank you for posting this Sammy H. I wish she could still sing...........
Who cares what you think of her politics? She is a very intelligent & well educated woman. Her politics have nothing to do with her immense talent. You need to get over your insecurities.
I of course love Linda. However, Will Lee's bass line is so simple and fine. The driving bass line has a real "train" feel. Great post.
Thanks for posting SqueezeThis. I love this song and indeed the whole album that it comes from, especially The Waiting.
hell Sammy H ...I KNEW HER WHEN SHE SANG WITH THE STONE PONIES back in 1968 ,,,she sang to the beat of a different drum ,,,just a true voice ,,all this time ...im prud to grow up in a time when there were lyrics and true meanings to musics ,,and talent ,,,when a voice really meant something ,,but you know ,,she still looks the same after 50 years ...damn ,,,give me the oil of olay!!! ..thank you for posting Sammy ,,,giving me an education ,,of where shes at now
Phenomenal song!!!
From Linda's album "Feels Like Home", also on Trio 2, with Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton.
Mi mas sincero respeto para la senora Linda Ronsdtad, una de las artistas mas polifaceticas de el mundo de la musica, en donde no solo ha trascendido barreras sino ha logrado el exito en todos las generos que ha tratado, y se ha ganado el respeto y el carino de tantos fans tanto en el mundo anglosajon como en el hispano. Thank you, Senora Linda Rondstad.
Love this whole album!
Linda still performs quite a bit. She still does tours, though the last year or so she has taken a well deserved break. But rest assured, Linda is far from retired.
I listened to the O'Connell version, but I like the Ronstadt w/Emmylou version better. It has a more haunting sound I like and I like the way they blend their voices as the song fades out with their voices mimicking a train horn when they extend the word "blue-ooh" over and over...but it's not done in this clip. Nice song either way!
Some things are inexplicable. I don't know why this is so good, but it just is.
The version with Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton off of the
"Trio" cd is unbelievably gorgeous. Here Linda shines in a solo that enumerates her incredible gifts....Listen to both and all of you naysayers will realize how wrong you are!
Used to love playing this on Magic 96 in Birmingham. Nice song!
Yes, but Dolly's track was not added on the version for Feels Like Home. Both versions are excellent, but I prefer the sound of the Linda and Emmylou only track.
A true singer of songs........
Beautiful song
Linda Ronstadt is one of the best vocalists of our time ~ that being said, I am not personally a big fan ...
however, she NAILS this song & it is, perhaps, my favorite of hers.
Linda, Arizona Gem, different yes, as the best of the best tend to be......................
Nice job on this video Sammy. Perfect timing with the train, not overwhelming that it steals the show. Thanks for doing this.
Great video for this underknown song from the best ~ Aloha ~
I had a painted like picture of her from Playboy it was a picture of her in a halter top and Calif shorts on roller skates on the Malibu beach saying " Greetings from Malibu" Someone stole it off my roll away at work. I sure had a crush on her back then and she could sing the phone book she was that good.
absolute American treasure
At the end of the song it sounds like Bryant Gumble saying "Today Show on NBC."
This just before she discovered her disease. What a beautiful, intelligent courageous woman.
This is not that long ago, Looks like Today show, Thank you for posting
wonderful
And the boss truth is you still rock this song!
Don't forget Dolly also sang backup on the outro!
Love you Linda
Very pretty---doesn't she still perform (by choice)? I seem to remember a few years ago, she had a concert in Los Angeles.
I heard she has young children, so perhaps she is concentrating on them at this time in her life.
I love her!
Sorry...you had best get your ears checked...lol..I think you have something seriously wrong with them. She is awesome and her range is beyond fabulous! But..hey...if you don't hear it....that is ok..you just miss the greatness in her voice.
If you have facebook look up the page to get Linda in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! :-)
what a wonderful song !!!!
She seems just fine here to me.
Great version.....Checkout Maura O'Connell who first sang it BRILLIANT
Thank U
Linda Ronstadt is the Female Elvis. She too can Sing anything and put her twist on it
For Mark. RIP
One Time? I used this song to talk a GOOD friend out of killing herself. EH! KMA Bitches.
what show was this on?
What makes you think that you have the knowledge and experience to deduce that conclusion?
