Long Long Time Ago is the eleventh studio album by the American singer Linda Ronstadt. Released in 1983, the album features a collection of classic pop and rock songs from the 1950s and 1960s, including hits by Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and The Everly Brothers.
The album showcases Ronstadt's versatile vocal range and her ability to interpret a wide range of musical styles. From the upbeat rockabilly of "Blue Bayou" to the soulful balladry of "I Will Always Love You," Ronstadt delivers each song with passion and sincerity.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Tumbling Dice," a bluesy rocker originally recorded by The Rolling Stones. Ronstadt's version features a raunchy guitar riff and a gritty vocal performance that captures the song's raw energy.
Another highlight is the album's title track, "Long Long Time." Ronstadt's haunting vocals are perfectly suited to the song's melancholic melody, and the stripped-down arrangement allows her voice to shine.
