You are listening to the genuine Hi-Fi stereo sound transferred from the actual vinyl record in the best possible quality.

Hasten Down the Wind is the 7th studio album by Linda Ronstadt. Released in 1976, it became her 3rd straight million-selling album. Ronstadt was the 1st female artist to accomplish this feat. The album earned her a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female in 1977, her second of 13 Grammys. It represented a slight departure from 1974's Heart Like a Wheel and 1975's Prisoner in Disguise in that she chose to showcase new songwriters over the traditional country rock sound she had been producing up to that point.
Hasten Down the Wind contained two major hit singles: Ronstadt's covers of Buddy Holly's "That'll Be the Day" (US Pop #11, Country #27) and her reworking of the late Patsy Cline's 1961 hit, "Crazy", reaching #6 on the US Country chart in early 1977.
