'Linda Ronstadt: The Sound Of My Voice' A Review

Linda Ronstadt The Sound Of My Voice is a rock-doc about the life and career of musician Linda Ronstadt. Through talking head interviews, extended sequences of voice over narration by the subject, archival footage, and footage of numerous concerts the eclectic taste, legendary ability and propulsive rise to fame of the are unspooled.

The form is conventional to the genre and the footage shot for the film is adequate rather than stylish(mostly stationary interviews) but the access to Ronstadt now as the narrator as well as the breadth of unearthed footage is the real hook.

Those who only know Ronstadt's hits will learn about her wide-ranging creative drive and her trial blazing and near decade plus domination of the charts. Fans will get extended access not previously available. Although the film contains little surprises learning more about Ronstadt's life and watching performance after stunning performance of hit after hit is a real pleasure.
