DON’T CRY NOW
Don’t Cry Now is Linda Ronstadt’s Gold-certified fourth solo LP and the first of her studio releases for Asylum Records, following six albums recorded for and released on Capitol Records. It was reissued on Rhino’s Flashback Records in 2009 and has never been out of print. It has sold approximately 800,000 copies in the United States alone. (More from Wikipedia)
For the second album, Trillion went back to the drawing board. To produce the album, the band even lined up John Boylan (W), the producer of Boston’s debut album (which had inspired the formation of Trillion in the first place) as well as one of Linda Ronstadt’s albums (Linda Ronstadt) and a few tracks on a second (Don’t Cry Now).

After working on a few tracks on Don’t Cry Now, Peter Asher helmed Linda Ronstadt’s 1974 breakthrough album, Heart Like a Wheel; it was a #1 album and featured a #1 single, “You’re No Good”.
Linda Ronstadt’s music is normally described as country rock, though she performs in a multitude of styles; as examples, Ronstadt covered numerous Motown songs in this period and recorded a New Wave album in 1980, Mad Love. This has required her to hire a variety of back-up musicians for her albums; several of the backing musicians for some of her recordings evolved into the Eagles .
