Hasten Down the Wind arrived in 1976, adding another major success to a run that was quickly establishing Ronstadt, 80, as one of the most versatile stars in popular music. In 2026, the Grammy-winning album celebrates its 50th anniversary.
Among the album's songs were Ronstadt's interpretations of "That'll Be the Day," "Crazy," "Lose Again" and the title track, along with songs written by artists including Warren Zevon and The Rolling Stones' Keith Richards and Mick Jagger.
Ronstadt won Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for Hasten Down the Wind, earning her another Grammy during one of the most important stretches of her career. The Recording Academy notes that the album helped Ronstadt become the first female artist to have three million-selling albums in a row.
At the 1977 ceremony, Ronstadt kept her acceptance speech remarkably brief, singling out Asher, her producer, with a simple thank-you.
The album's 50th anniversary also arrives during a year that has brought renewed attention to Ronstadt's remarkable legacy. She turned 80 in July 2026, and her influence across multiple genres remains evident decades after she became one of the defining voices of her generation.
