Silver Wings

Some people just reinterpret songs well.  I think it tends to show up after the first few years of a career. Johnny Cash.  Ray Charles.  Frank Sinatra. They had an ability to put a new meaning into a song.

Ronstadt's arranger on this one slows it down, giving both the guitar work and the emotion of her voice more prominence. I like Merle Haggard's original version a lot, but I like this one better.
