Winter Light is a 1993 album by American singer Linda Ronstadt.
It was Ronstadt's first album since Don't Cry Now not produced with Peter Asher. She elected to produce it along with George Massenburg. The album marked Ronstadt's increased responsibilities and confidence behind the boards, achieving the multi-layered sound, as in Brian Wilson's "Don't Talk (Put Your Head on My Shoulder)."
Other aspects of the album show Ronstadt paying tribute to the great female vocalist of the sixties with a combination of rock n roll oldies, rock ballads. She also elected to choose classic compositions from various songwriters such as Burt Bacharach, Carole King, Jimmy Webb and contemporary ones such as Tish Hinojosa. The album also showcased Ronstadt the singer-songwriter and music arranger, introducing her own composition "Winter Light."
Considered one of Ronstadt's most underrated and highly acclaimed. Also included is the Spanish language folk-song Adonde Voy.
