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 contained two major hit singles: Ronstadt's covers of Buddy Holly's " That'll Be the Day" (US Pop #11, Country #27) and her reworking of the late Patsy Cline's 1961 hit, " Crazy", reaching #6 on the US Country chart in early 1977. A more serious and poignant album than its predecessors, it won critical acclaim. It represented a slight departure from 1974's Heart Like a Wheel and 1975's Prisoner in Disguise in that she chose to showcase new songwriters over the traditional country rock sound she had been producing up to that point. The album earned her a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female in 1977, her second of 13 Grammys. Ronstadt was the first female artist to accomplish this feat. Released in 1976, it became her third straight million-selling album. Hasten Down the Wind is the seventh studio album by singer-songwriter Linda Ronstadt.
