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': Ronstadt's subsequent album was 1977's Simple Dreams, one of her best-selling ever.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. It was also the second of four #1 Country albums for her. Her third album to go platinum, Hasten Down the Wind spent several weeks in the top three of the Billboard album charts. A reworking of the late Patsy Cline's classic 'Crazy' was a Top 10 Country hit for Ronstadt in early 1977. The album showcased songs from artists such as Warren Zevon ('Hasten Down the Wind') and Karla Bonoff ('Someone to Lay Down Beside Me') both of whom would soon be making a name for themselves in the singer-songwriter world. A more serious and poignant album than its predecessors, it won critical acclaim from critics and the general public alike. 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. The album earned her a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female in early 1977, her second of a record 11 Grammys.

Ronstadt was the first female artist in history to accomplish this feat. A great NZ pressing very smart vinyl with a good cover showing minor shelf wear.
