The film successfully paints Ronstadt as a whip-smart, boundary-breaking artist... But it shys away from critically evaluating her accomplishments while portraying her as somewhat forgotten in today's music scene, which seems a tad unfair.

Mostly, the documentary makes you want to take a deep dive into her discography, especially that amazing run of albums from the 1970s, and that's one of the best things you can ask from any music documentary.

CNN Films could have taken a lesson from its subject by not pulling any punches.

Documentaries are at their best when they are telling an interesting story that not enough people know about. You can add Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice to that list of highly worthy documentaries.

If you are a fan of Linda's, this is is a must-see! I love the biography aspect & the interviews with her peers. I do have to say, this may be better seen on a smaller screen as there was some pretty grainy videos, but it wasn't horrible. It's well worth your time!

Really great to hear her story told first person. I learned a lot I didn't know about her. Even though I lived through most of the time detailed in the video. Excellent presentation, excellent use of her songs. Thank you for making it available!
