The Linda Ronstadt Experience
Like cover albums, cover bands are something I don’t always enjoy, after all it’s usually a pale imitation. But some bands actually deliver on the promise of an authentic experience. Linda Ronstandt was a legendary performer and one of my favorite singers, so American Idol Star Tristan McIntosh had some big shoes to fill. But I’m happy to say, she’s got the voice down perfect, the blue eye shadow, mannerisms, and even the wig looks great. She plays most of Linda’s big hits, and you feel her spirit in the music itself. And unlike other popular bands, there is only one “official” Linda Ronstandt cover band. I saw the Nov. 9th show at My Father’s Place in Roslyn, NY.
In addition, the band is loaded with top notch musicians; Ethan Leff, and the band’s founder, bassist Paul “Junior” Boyne, Brad Goff on piano keys, guitars, vocals and Curtis Killian guitar and vocals. I highly recommend this show, so when they come to your town, don’t miss it!
