That was entertaining as heck. Thanks.

You're welcome. I come back to that one by Arlo every now and then when I start to wonder whether all the time I have devoted listening to music has been time well spent.

And, indeed, it has been.

Song: Desperado

Original Artist: Eagles

---

Cover Artist: Linda Ronstadt

---

The original version by the Eagles is more than decent - one of my all-time favorites by them.

But sometimes, when Linda does a song, she just owns it.

As she does here.

I don't know about better but an amazing cover.
