DEDICATED TO THE ONE I LOVE is a collection of pop and rock classics reworked as lullabies. There's nary a guitar or drum in sight here. The bulk of the weight is taken up by harp, synthesizer and strings. Some songs, such as the Everly Brothers' "Devoted To You" and the Ronettes' "Baby I Love You," turn out to be naturals for this soft and silky treatment. Others are more unexpected, like "In My Room," the Beach Boys' ode to solipsism, and Queen's hard-rock anthem "We Will Rock You," both of which take on a slightly subversive undertone.

Linda Ronstadt began as the clear-voiced, country-influenced singer for '60s folk-rockers the Stone Poneys, where she covered tunes by the likes of Mike Nesmith and Tim Buckley. That knack for choosing material served her well in the second half of the '70s, when she became a pop superstar interpreting songs by everyone from Dave Edmunds and Elvis Costello to Chuck Berry and Roy Orbison. Subsequently, she showed her diversity by cutting albums of jazz standards, traditional Mexican music, and pure country
