Possibly one of the most beautiful songs ever
I first discovered Kate and Anna McGarrigle’s Talk to me of Mendocino through Linda Ronstadt’s fantastic take on the song which was included on her 1983 album Get Closer. Thus began my love affair with this sublime slice of songwriting. It was actually further down the line I listened to the McGarrigle’s original. Then I […]
