She was a favourite of mine in the 1970s, and I continue to appreciate her talent. I’ve also featured a recording of hers with Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris singing Neil Young’s “ After the Gold Rush” and a recording of Young’s “ Harvest Moon,” on which Ronstadt sang backup. Ronstadt has been mentioned on this blog several times, for covers of other’s songs. For most people, the inability to commit suicide would be regarded as a stroke of good luck, but instead. Zevon’s trademark grim, mocking lyrics seem in a way to complement English rockers the Smiths’ pleading in yesterday’s song, as both songs are about hard luck. Warren Zevons best work often speaks with the voice of an arrogance so strong it spills over into something resembling charm, and one of the best examples is 'Poor Poor Pitiful Me,' which he first recorded on his self-titled 1976 album. Canadian country star Terri Clark also covered the song, in 1996. The song was released by Ronstadt as a single in January 1978. Drum machines played a significant role in new wave, techno-op and electronic dance music starting in the late 70s and 80s.)Īmerican musician and singer Jackson Browne suggested Ronstadt record “Poor Poor Pitiful Me,” and she included it on her 1977 record, Simple Dreams (the only solo album of hers that I own). (Electronic drums, which a drummer actually played, are quite different from drum machines, which are computer devices programmed to play a beat. Either that, or regular drums had some massive studio effects put on them in production. The song’s sound is an interesting snapshot of evolution in rock music during the latter half of the 1970s: the drums sound almost like electronic drums, which, like drum machines, were relatively new on the scene. It’s a terrific song, really showcasing her vocal talent and backing band’s solid rock musicianship. I’m quite sure I heard Ronstadt’s 1977, gender-reversed version sometime in the past few days. My thoughts then went to Ronstadt’s top-40 hit rendition of a song by American musician Warren Zevon (1947-2003), “Poor Poor Pitiful Me,” which appeared on Zevon’s 1976 self-titled album. This afternoon I was in the car on errands and listening to SiriusXM’s The Bridge (soft rock stream) when a song came on that somehow reminded me of the (now-retired) American singer Linda Ronstadt.
