Her third album to go platinum, Hasten Down the Wind spent several weeks in the top three of the Billboard album charts. The album also included two songs co-written by Ronstadt, including one in Spanish (her first recorded foray into Spanish music, more than a decade before she released her first fully-Spanish album). The album included a cover of a cover: 'The Tattler' by Washington Phillips, which Ry Cooder had re-arranged for his 1974 album Paradise and Lunch. The album also showcased songs from artists such as Warren Zevon ('Hasten Down the Wind') and Karla Bonoff ('Someone to Lay Down Beside Me', US #42, Easy Listening #38), both of whom would soon be making a name for themselves in the singer-songwriter world. 'Hasten Down the Wind' is a song written and recorded by Warren Zevon and featured on his eponymous major-label debut album.The song was later covered by Linda Ronstadt, who would use the song as the title track for her seventh solo LP.
