LINDA RONSTADT
Linda Ronstadt is the third solo album by Linda Ronstadt, released in early 1972 on the Capitol Records label. The album was a sales failure, prompting Linda’s exit from Capitol Records. It peaked at #163 on Billboard’s Pop Album Chart and #35 on Billboard’s Country Album Chart. It is considered to be a front-runner in the country rock music genre. (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, 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).

In performance, Linda Ronstadt mostly sings, though she sometimes plays a tambourine; however, I seem to remember seeing her play a guitar once. On her third solo album, Linda Ronstadt, she includes two live performances; and her live concert was the centerpiece of the 1978 film, FM.
