Silver Threads and Golden Needles - Wanda Jackson (1956) cover by Linda Ronstadt

I don't remember the original country version from 1956, but I do remember the 1962 hit version by the British folk-rock group, The Springfields, which was excellent with the beautiful harmonies. It was recorded by many popular artists of the 60's and became something of a folk-rock classic. But then Linda Ronstadt comes along, and released a country crossover version in 1973 that blew them all away. She gave it something that every other artist had failed to do: She gave it Attitude! (with a capital A). It rocks! While many artists have covered it, Linda's version is, hands down, the best version ever, as far as I'm concerned.

Volta, as usual you nailed it. Linda Killed on this cut. She made it almost power country.

Her vocals are great. I might be wrong, but it is that cut from the era where the Eagles

were her back up group? Love her.

Thanks, @jm2422. This song was recorded and released after the Eagles had left the nest, so to speak. They were with her band 71-72-ish.

Good one! I also love his cover of Be-Bop-A-Lula on MTV Unplugged, 1991. He can really channel is inner Gene Vincent!
