Linda Ronstadt‘s greatest hits, including her country ballad take on “Blue Bayou,” remain beloved by modern music fans nearly 50 years later.
And now, the album Adieu False Heart, her Grammy-nominated collaboration with celebrated Cajun artist Ann Savoy, is being reissued this month in honor of its 20th anniversary.
The 2006 LP, which marked Ronstadt’s final recording before her retirement, features a variety of covers including the memorable tracks “Walk Away Renée,” “I Can’t Get Over You” and “Adieu False Heart.”
The team-up began as a friendship between Savoy, 74, and Ronstadt, 80. The pair first collaborated on 2002’s Evangeline Made, a star-studded project that featured rock musicians covering classic Cajun music. Their musical partnership blossomed from there, calling themselves the “Zozo Sisters,” after the Creole word for “little bird,” per Craft Recordings’ recent news release.
“Never in my life would I have ever dreamed that this wonderful singer and megastar would give me the time of day musically,” Savoy said in a statement shared by Craft Recordings. “When I realized how comfortable she was to be around, how accepting of me, how responsive to song ideas I brought to her, and how natural it was just sitting around with her singing and playing guitars, I was totally encompassed by singing with her and sharing ideas.”
Savoy continued, “The album still lives on as a work of art and beauty, a testament to our happy hours spent together, creating, sharing, forging a friendship that continues to enrich our lives.”
The album — which reportedly marked Savoy’s first English-language project — draws on songs from across the 20th century, spanning folk, country, pop, Cajun, rock, and beyond, set to subtle arrangements that let the women’s voices take center stage. The end result earned Grammy nominations — for Best Traditional Folk Album and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical.
Arriving November 20 and available for pre-order today here, Adieu False Heart makes its vinyl debut along with a return to CD format.
