FINAL COLLECTION COPY Original 1968 first pressing vinyl -- by far the rarest of the three STONE PONEY'S album ...in TOP clean shape (see condition details below)
STONE PONEY's Volume III was issued just as the group broke up and linda Ronstadt going 'solo' to rise to quick fame...
Linda Ronstadt, Stone Poneys and Friends, Vol. III is the third and final album by The Stone Poneys. Linda Ronstadt would release her first solo album the following year. The volume number is a reference to this being the third album by the band, though with a Roman numeral rather than the Arabic numeral used on the previous album. While all three bandmembers are shown on the covers of the first two albums, only Linda Ronstadt appears on the front cover of this album, while the back cover photo depicts a large group of people surrounding Ronstadt in front of her house in Santa Monica, California.
As on the second album (though with a few exceptions in that case), Linda Ronstadt sings lead vocals on all tracks. While ostensibly a Stone Poneys album, Vol. III represents a transition between the work of this band and Linda Ronstadt's solo career. Many of the songs are in more of a country-rock style that would mark her most popular work in later years, rather than the folk-rock music of the first two Stone Poneys albums. This is particularly true of the two songs that were released as singles from this album, "Some of Shelly's Blues" and "Up to My Neck in High Muddy Water"; the latter song reached #93 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.
Unlike the first two albums, when they composed most of the songs, the other bandmembers, Bob Kimmel and Kenny Edwards were the songwriters on only two of the songs. (In fact, Edwards had already left the band before work began on this album). For the remaining tracks, Linda Ronstadt sought out material by well regarded musicians such as Tim Buckley and Laura Nyro; and there are additional songs by others like Mike Nesmith. There are several previously unreleased tracks included on the album, such as the very short "fragments" that open the album.
The only charting success by the band from this material was from the single release "Up to My Neck in High Muddy Water". Mike Nesmith song, "Some of Shelly's Blues" (sometimes spelled "Some of Shelley's Blues") was also released as a single. Michael Nesmith is best known as a member of The Monkees, and this band recorded the song in the 1960s. Several other now-familiar songs are also included on this album. Peggy Lipton also released "Stoney End" in 1968 (as a single).
"Let's Get Together" – also known as "Get Together" – is regarded today as a quintessential hippie/flower power appeal for peace and brotherhood. The song is best known as the Top 5 hit by the Youngbloods in 1969 (though it was originally released by that band in 1967). "Morning Glory" – which was on Tim Buckley's second album, Goodbye and Hello (1967) – was renamed "Hobo" by Linda Ronstadt. The other two Tim Buckley songs come from his first album, Tim Buckley (1966).
