A few weeks back while I was looking for videos of the song 'Different Drum', something came up in YouTube 'All Related' column for The Linda Ronstadt Experience. 

So I thought this week it would be quite interesting to do a straight comparison between the same song, initially performed by Linda Ronstadt in 1976 and then the tribute band from 2018, given how excellent and authentic the 'Experience' turned out to be.

The song is 'Willin', written by Lowell George, way back when he was still a member of The Mothers of Invention. A bit of trucker anthem about smuggling across the Mexican border. 

First up, the original by the one and only Linda Ronstadt 

Then very much keeping the music alive: The Linda Ronstadt Experience with Tristan McIntosh
