WHAT'S NEW
What's New is a 1983 jazz album by American singer/songwriter/producer Linda Ronstadt. It represents the first in a trilogy of 1980s albums Ronstadt recorded with bandleader/arranger Nelson Riddle. John Kosh designed the album covers for all 3 albums. (More from Wikipedia)
Over the years, Linda Ronstadt has had the wherewithal and the talent and the drive to try her hand at almost every musical form there is. After an amazing string of hit albums, Linda released an album of standards called What's New, the first of three albums that she made with legendary conductor and arranger Nelson Riddle. It was the first successful album from the Great American Song Book by a rock performer and paved the way for numerous such albums by male and female rockers alike.
