The Stone Poneys
broke up during the recording of their final album, leaving
Ronstadt
to finish the work with various sessionmen (hence the billing
"Stone Poneys & Friends"
). It's a solid effort, though, of decent if muted Californian folk-rock, with a laid-back (but not offensively so), carefully produced feel. Certainly the material is varied, with selections from
the Stone Poneys
,
Mike Nesmith
, and
Laura Nyro
, and occasional intimations of the country-rock direction that
would frequently pursue during the '70s. The inclusion of three
Tim Buckley
songs serves as evidence that
was hipper than some of her detractors have made her out to be. ~ Richie Unterberger
