Happy birthday, Linda Ronstadt! Here are five cuts I mention on the podcast, plus one bonus.

Bonus track: This is her cover of Elvis Costello’s ‘Alison,’ which he has said was important for him, since he made money from her success with it. Also, it’s noteworthy for featuring David Sanborn on sax, who passed away earlier this year. Aside from his jazz work, he’s also known for playing sax with David Bowie on “Young Americans.”

What about this group Anvil?

Here’s the trailer for the film I discuss on this week’s episode.
