Perhaps the result of too much Aphex Aural Excitement? Some have a phony boosted top end, a subject we have discussed on Linda’s records before. If you own the record see if you don’t notice some of them on your own copy. Most pressings of this album have quite obvious problems. In other words, this is Classic Analog from the ’70s, recorded by none other than Val Garay, one of our favorite engineers.
The sound is rich, smooth, full-bodied and natural on both sides. Like the best moments of the preceding nine, though, the best moments of Hasten Down the Wind will be with us a long, long time.” “Her big but pretty voice is a stunning instrument for expressing feelings, particularly intense feelings that require a slightly understated delivery… a fine album that begs closer inspection than, I fear, many of us are willing to give to Linda Ronstadt’s art.This copy is doing it all - huge, rich and lively, with Linda’s vocals reproduced to near perfection.dream like, and then the English verse comes in and I hang on every word and feel the intense sadness. Having spoken of the heavy emotion of the album, That'll Be The Day has enough bounce and power to keep the ship afloat, and the air guitar is whipped out and plugged in.and Give One Heart is so lovely and lilting it cruises along before another blow comes in. The video of Linda recording the track in the studio has added to it's weight for me in recent years, when I first saw it about 3 or 4 years ago. Lose Again hits me like a thunderbolt every time, still. It has appealed to me continually over the years, finding new things in it, relating to it, sadly smiling with it, crying with it. The raw emotion of it is never far from the surface but it's never desperate, it's more like a sad resignation to a heart broken so many times. It's funny but I never really considered Hasten Down The Wind as downbeat or morose, but it clearly is, I just considered it a beautiful work standing alone. I always wondered if the guy on the horse recognized himself in the photo. Someone else's hand was airbrushed in-the wife of Russell or Kosh I think? I can't find the source now but I definitely recall Russell saying somewhere that one of the hands on the cover is not Linda's because the position of her hand in the photo made it look like a claw. My father owned a horse ranch.) It was a happy accident, or, thinking about it differently, it was a captured moment, which we didn't know was coming but were prepared to get. Right before I took the photograph, Linda yelled at me not to take the picture because it would scare the horse. I had nothing to do with them and had no idea they were there. "The horse and rider were there of their own accord, racing along the beach. I loved for the elements: the seashell in her hair, her raised finger, and the ocean."

I was waiting for later in the day when the sun would start to set, and I could introduce the hand-held portable strobes and mix the light sources during 'magic hour.' This could produce unexpected but sometimes magical results.
And so we started running up and down the beach. John, frustrated, suggested everybody get up and move. She had finished makeup, and I began to take pictures, which were listless. "John Kosh.can take some direct credit both for this shot and to some degree for "Hasten Down the Wind." This session-another 'photo-shoot'-was at Linda's home in The Colony in Malibu.
Here's what Ethan Russell says in "The Inside Story," the stories that accompany his new book "Ethan Russell Photographs": Malibu Colony is only about a mile long so it's possible that they started out in front of Linda's house and wound up in front of the producer's place.
