Simple Dreams (Limited Edition Blue Vinyl) (2024 Reissue)
Now on sea blue vinyl, Linda Ronstadt’s “Simple Dreams” is a timeless and eclectic album that showcases her versatile vocal talent across various musical genres.
From the upbeat and catchy “It’s So Easy” to the poignant and emotional “Blue Bayou,” the album seamlessly weaves together rock, country, and folk influences.
Simple Dreams is the eighth studio album by the American rock singer-songwriter Linda Ronstadt, released by Asylum Records. One of the most successful albums of Ronstadt’s career, Simple Dreams spent five successive weeks at number 1 on the Billboard album chart in late 1977, displacing Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours after it had held that position for a record-breaking 29 weeks. It also knocked Elvis Presley out of the number 1 position on the Billboard Country Albums chart after “The King” had held it for fifteen consecutive weeks following his death in August. It won the Grammy Award for Best Recording Package and was nominated for several other Grammy awards.
