Description
Winter Light was Ronstadt’s first solo album since Don’t Cry Now not to be produced by Peter Asher; she elected to produce it herself, along with George Massenburg. The album marked Ronstadt’s increased responsibilities and confidence behind the boards, this time achieving a multi-layered Enya-styled New Age-oriented sound, as in Anna McGarrigle‘s “Heartbeats Accelerating” — the album’s first hit single — and Brian Wilson‘s “Don’t Talk (Put Your Head on my Shoulder)”. “Heartbeats Accelerating” featured a popular music video while another track, a remake of the classic 1960s R&B hit, “Oh No Not My Baby“, was a Top 30 Adult Contemporary hit for Linda in the spring of 1994.
