Ronstadt has explored many musical styles in her career, and HASTEN is no exception, as country, rock, pop, Spanish music and reggae come together to form a winner. Linda does a powerful and searing rendition of Patsy Cline's "Crazy," as her soprano sheds new light on an old classic. Ronstadt goes the Jamaican route with "Give One Heart," a reggae love song. The title track is a ballad written by Warren Zevon and features fellow Californian Don Henley on harmony vocals. Linda decides it's time to rock out with a kickin' version of Buddy Holly's "That'll Be The Day."Ronstadt delves into Spanish territory with "Lo Siento Mi Vida," a beautiful acoustic number. "Lose Again" is a country rock ballad written by Karla Bonoff. It's a very real, raw album with Ronstadt's sweet vocals pierced by a touch of grit.
It also garnered her a Grammy for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
