Willin' Songwriter Lowell George Performed by The Linda Ronstadt Experience

[@raybede]

Obviously, no one can ever replace Linda but this young lady has such a voice and expression that she doesn't really need to pretend to be Linda, as she can hold her own in any company and I hope will do well. Good band too.

[@laustjorgen]

I could not agree more concerning your estimate of Tristan in this peace. She is that outstanding herself, without any need to resemble or copy anyone! Fascinating!

[@ElsonElizaga1]

Then another talented artist will copy Tristan.

[@dhutton77]

I don't know. I think this singer could certainly replace Linda.

[@jeremiahwilson3472]

My Gosh, what a truly beautiful voice. I wouldn't have known this wasn't Linda Ronstadt if I didn't see the video.

[@collick100]

One of the best covers Linda ever did and this young lady nails it. Amazing job.

[@astroteech]

Hell yah. I first heard this in the late 70's when I was in high school, and then I got to see it performed live by Lowell George and Little Feat in the late 70's just before Lowell George died an untimely early death. Little Feat is up front on my play list to this day, and I'm 66.

[@wtmcgowin]

I think Lowell George era Little Feat is criminally underappreciated.

[@jordandickerson4069]

I bet Lowell smiles every time someone plays this song. Great job.

[@nazirite11]

I just want Tristan and the band to know that this is my absolute favorite cover of this song . They knock it out of the park . She does a killer job on the vocals !!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@eddieelian6696]

Beautiful song of LINDA RONSTADT covered by a BEAUTIFUL young LADY TRISTAN what a nice voice.

[@ciskadebart1763]

Very beautifull lady...and sings like Linda....at ease and vibes like Linda Great band and performance...relaxed

[@chizam765]

Wow guys....about brought a tear to this old guys eyes...Awesome !!

[@eduarudor1838]

Just wow. I’m 35 and I’m amazed of how beautifully songs were made before the 90s

[@henryfrost8542]

Beautiful, fantastic voice and a fantastic band ❤️🎶

[@poonsinbenjamin4084]

Tristan You're Awesome! You would make LINDA PROUD!!!!!! Definitely will see you perform n Band in concert soon!

[@mr4putt]

Wow. I am am awestruck. Like no kiddin'. Linda will always hold a very special place in my heart. I was such a big fan I saw her in my teens when she was doing her Nelson Riddle Orchestra Torch songs tour. It was amazing. This young lady is brave and does the tunes justice. The cutie pie aspect doesn't hurt either, but dang she really nails it. I am also so happy because the music was sooo good (IMHO) than what we've got going on out there now to a large degree. There's hope that great songwriters, melodies, harmonies, etc will live on...THANKS much.

[@martinoneal316]

Man you said it all... wasn't Linda.. but it was damn good..

[@UlloMark]

Unbelievably good... indescribably wonderful.

[@5speedMax]

This brought tears to my eyes.

[@roccodamiano1763]

I closed my eyes and it was 1976 once again.... your voice is so sweet it brought tears to my eyes... such talent can be overwhelming ... thank you so much..

HA ME TOO. .LOVED THOSE DAYS. BEST MUSCIC EVER!!

[@johnyyaussi1339]

Back in the 70s this song would play occasionally but it was hard to find on her albums. It has always been a favorite of mine along with Crazy. I was at a Ronstadt concert at Red Rocks in those years sitting in the front rows. Yelled out Crazy, she nodded in my direction and sang the song. Great night.

[@waynej2608]

Willin is on the Heart Like a Wheel album. Great one!. That's very cool she sang Crazy, for you. Lucky ...

[@adjesijnke3311]

Geweldig. Ad Sijnke

[@stephenkelly1650]

Incredible! Love Linda, and Lowell. Beautiful cover!

[@billglueck9705]

Brilliant! Nailed everything. Best cover version I have seen so far.

[@jhawk1897]

Linda was my girlfriend in the mid to late 70’s. I don’t think she knew about it, but I still listen to her all the time. Great cover of one of my faves!

[@kenkuhl6683]

Just discovered her and this version. Very joyful... wishing the entire group great success... she is that good and doing Linda covers is a good stepping stone.

[@chrisw1953]

Great LF song covered really well by Linda and covered really well again by this band..

[@dennishassler605]

Thank YOU Tristan - Love your singing and certainly miss Linda, too - she was amazing!!!!

[@robertbartelmes7623]

... best cover of "Willin'' I've ever heard or seen ... brings back memories of 'The Queen of Rock & Roll" in the 70s ...

[@Cyn55sam]

Beauty face and her voice like a angel

[@animaljustice7774]

Beautiful you mean.

[@MemphiStig]

Great voice, great cover. If you're going to honor and pay tribute to anyone, there's none better than Linda. And I'm sure she'd love this. I'd love to hear more, like All That You Dream or White Rhythm and Blues. But wherever you all are now, I wish you all the best.

[@hbryant513]

Very Good cover, true to the original !

[@jeffreykercheval9177]

Yeah....One of the BEST versions of this song on KZbin. Great Job!

[@Chiller11]

Great song by an often overlooked talent. Big Lowell George fan.

[@JamesRonstadt]

Nice. Vocal tone very close to Linda. Easy on the eyes too. Great band! 🌴😎🌈Aloha

[@UlloMark]

James, what an amazing last name you have... Aloha...! P.S. indeed, this Linda is also 'easy on the eyes'...

[@JamesRonstadt]

@@UlloMark When you get a chance search KZbin - Coronavirus Blues Hawaii. 🤙🏼

[@jeffhodge7333]

So good. Too good. Thank you. It makes me hate God for taking away Linda's voice. Keep up the good work. We need your music.

[@siobob1]

God didn't take away Linda's voice. It's recorded for posterity, a gift forever.

[@orooneytoones]

Great job! Beautifully done. :)

[@astroteech]

Thank you for performing this so true to the spirit of the original.

[@clarencebowell3825]

I have now had the pleasure of listing to many more of your songs, The band is Awesome and the Female singer has a great feel for the songs and an excellent voice. I hope you are all very proud of your self. Cindy I take it you are the singer ? you sing with confidence and a such an easy breeze, I have been enjoying following, Please keep on performing all of you Cheers.

[@tristanmcintosh]

Hey there! My name is Tristan and I’m the lead singer! Thank you for your kind words

[@christinepaige2575]

Love this song. Thank you!

[@FenderBassMan]

I believe that this is THE BEST rendition of one of my favorite songs. I'm not a big C-W fan, but this Lowell George piece always makes smile and touches my heart. Excellent job, Tristan! And the band, magical!

[@dselleno]

Worth the listen. Great job!!

[@calicraig8369]

She gets better with each song!

[@simonbrown6441]

Fabulous version of a really great song. Flawless voice.

[@ChuckHansen1966]

I didn't know Linda covered this song until Tristan did it, but I think this is my favorite of all these so far. Stellar job as always :)

[@mariocontreras2209]

👏👏👏 damn!! It's really GOOD 🍻🍻

[@oldzoot]

Ma'am ... you've nailed it spot on. Lowell smiles as does Ms. Linda. Nicely done ...😎

[@lutherbailey9512]

I am the biggest Linda fan and this is a beautiful and flawless cover.

[@raspasfaja5733]

Wow, super impressed. Big Linda fan and one of my favorites. Well done.

[@meadowdweller9368]

One of my many favorites!

[@kennethmcclung9399]

Good bye Kris. God bless you for giving us so much good music. I will see you when the Roll is called up Younder..

[@lbowsk]

Fantastic. I was in HS when Heart Like A Wheel came out. In general, I hate covers. But she just killed this tune. It was fantastic and I'd bet a paycheck that Lowell was thrilled and loved it too. Now this. Excellent across the board. She didn't overdo it. Just right. Many thanks for posting this.

[@lftucson]

I'm a big LR fan and WOW, you would make her proud!! I'm hoping to catch one of your shows!

[@tomdinder2109]

Just saw them last night)April 1,2022)just outside of Buffalo and it was a great time!

[@reynantebautista3243]

Great voice tristan fantastic Band

[@victorgonzalezescalante1504]

Maravillosos todos.Grandes voces,grandes mûsicos,y Linda AAY.AY...

[@robertd3564]

I love Linda. Over my 60 years I've seen dozens of Ronstadt tribute bands. If you are a pro musician everybody in this video is doing what you are expected to do -and admirably! But what sticks out is the lady. This woman is exceptional. That voice and the way she applies it to Linda's material is superb.

[@ChileMiPais]

I can hear the intonations of Linda Ronstadt but not the voice it's the way it should be this girl has her own voice and she's singing it in her own style the way it should be ,carry on you have a unique gift.

[@george_j2023]

What a beautiful voice, beautiful singer, an incredible band!!

[@gergemall]

Love the video ❤… thank you. Lots of great memories. You , young lady ,,, sound AMAZING 😊

[@joevassilatos3712]

Linda loved you for many years this song is definitely dedicated to Peter Kalamarides the only trucker I know he’s my first cousin he’s driving the artic in Alaska. The greatest state ever

[@charlesbraun8867]

I’m a LF purest , and i love Linda . I just stumbled across this . Who the hell is this chick . Great pipes ! I want more , someone help me out.

[@invista4134]

A cover I can safely like. Linda's inspiration is clearly visible by this lady's performance. Awesome band as well as great harmony. There is another good version which was sung on the talent show "Norway's Voice" where Marianna Sorsenberg sing's a great cover with an amazing voice.

[@RussPaladino]

Amazing! Wow.

[@ericbarth5648]

You guys are the most underated tribute band I've ever heard. Love

[@payotte52]

Love it!

[@tonidavey5784]

beautiful

[@brianmark3088]

I'm embarrassed to say it but I watched it about half way through thinking this was an early Linda Ronstadt video. Your voice and the band is perfect and your bangs haircut had me fooled. This is probably the best version of this song ever.

[@lindsaythomas2283]

She (and the band) does a wonderful rendition of this song. Mr. Lowell is smiling.

[@rjam950]

Good stuff! Good band!

[@jed1166]

I bought Heart Like a Wheel in 1973, and listened to this every night, over and over again… still play it in my acoustic cover show… all time fav!

[@lbowsk]

It was released in Nov of '74

[@jed1166]

@@lbowsk I stand corrected…. Thanks! The memory fades a bit after 50, I mean 49 years, LOL! Still one of the great albums by the GOAT female vocalist.

This outstanding! Absolutely top shelf and world class cover! Is the band still together? If so, do you tour?

[@donaldschumacher3683]

Dang!

[@mikem227]

Love this!!!

[@bdhiggins7757]

This is the best version of this song that I've ever heard, and the best part of this song by far, is your singing, good luck.

[@rockystonewolf]

This is alomst better than the original thing.

[@matthewcreelman2736]

Lowell George and Little Feet would have been Proud of this Performance. ! This is a Song from 1972 This was when I was born in Aussie

[@Truthdosentexist69]

Beautiful song

[@lowdog47]

The Best cover I've heard!

[@charsbob]

Like Linda, she's caught the song - sad and lonely and proud and still....willin'. Only a few can do it. If she spent a couple years singing Norteno music like Linda, she'd get the accent, and she'd be perfect. As it is, she's pretty damn good...

[@jameskilmer8730]

Wow, I just came across this cover. She has a spectacular, strong and yet passionately subtle

[@ogivecrush]

Very, very good!

[@Thecoutch]

Tristan = amazing beauty + voice of an angel!!!!!!

[@jdanderson915]

Lovely peripatetic Linda Ronstadt. I’m still willin’…Alice…Dallas Alice. Give me weed, whites and wine…and you show me a sign…lovely movin’ Lowell George.

[@firebird189]

Oh my goodness!!!!!!!! The first album I ever bought was Heart Like a Wheel. I must find and see you perform.

[@joelwatkins4377]

Excellent version!

[@rickcowan7527]

Lovely rendition of an evocative song!

[@HSTOZA]

Nailed it.

[@taterbombnuke]

I bought most of Linda's albums back then and still dip into them... Actually no one can sing like Linda. Her vocal power, intonation ! This girl and band is good...But only Linda....Aye yi yi. Lowell George WAS Little Feat. Two truly legendary artists. Watch Linda sing this song here on KZbin 😢❤.

[@derekec]

Now of course we've already got Linda but if we never did this gifted lady would be the superstar. Of course the original always has to be lauded for inventing the mold. I'd love to hear her and the band do something original and go the next step. Too good to be known for only covers.

[@deanallen9660]

Wow! That's impressive.

[@markbrookman8233]

I doubt I've ever heard a greater female singing voice than Linda Ronstadt's... but this young lady certainly gives her a run for her money! Bloody awesome, guys! ... 😉

[@cugir321]

She has a great voice....getting close to Linda's phrasing. Linda's phrasing is some of the best.

[@fredgerken8095]

Yes, close.
