The instantly recognizable voice of the legendary Linda Ronstadt was launched in the mid 1960's when her band The Stone Poneys released their mega hit "Different Drum." For the next several decades, she hit the Billboard charts with dozens of incredible songs, including "When Will I Be Loved", "That'll Be the Day", "Heat Wave", "It's So Easy", "Blue Bayou", "Poor Poor Pitiful Me", "You're No Good", "Tumblin' Dice" and many more. Ronstadt Rewind is the Ultimate Linda Ronstadt Tribute Concert. The performance features American Idol Star Katherine Winston, who along with her outstanding band recreate the Ronstadt concert experience like no other in a show that features the legendary singer's great hits and more.
