"Hasten Down the Wind" (1976) is Linda Ronstadt's seventh solo LP release and Ronstadt's third straight million-selling album, an unprecedented feat at the time, earning her a Grammy Award for Best Vocal Performance, Female in 1976. It represented a radical departure from 1974's "Heart Like a Wheel" and 1975's "Prisoner in Disguise" in that she chose to showcase new songwriters over the traditional country rock and pop sound she had been producing up to this point. It is a more serious, more poignant album than its predecessors, yet won immediate critical acclaim from critics and the general public alike.

The album showcased Ronstadt by way of songs such as the likes of Warren Zevon's "Hasten Down the Wind" and Karla Bonoff's "Someone to Lay Down Beside Me", both of whom would indeed soon be making a name for themselves in the singer-songwriter world. An exquisite treatment of the Tracy Nelson standard "Down So Low" and two Ronstadt-penned songs completed an array of immaculately chosen and delivered songs.

This was Ronstadt's third album to go platinum. "Hasten" itself spent several weeks in the top three of the Billboard charts. Her subsequent album was her best-selling, "Simple Dreams".
