» For the Steve Miller album, see Living in the U.S.A..
Living in the USA is a 1978 album by
Linda Ronstadt. The album hit No. 1 on the
Billboard 200 album chart and was the first album in history to ship
double platinum. The album has gone on to be certified by the
RIAA for 2 million copies sold in the US alone and has estimated real sales of 4 million units sold in the US alone.
Vocal interpretations of
Elvis Costello's "
Alison (My Aim Is True),"
Smokey Robinson's "
Ooh Baby Baby" (alto work from
Dave Sanborn) and a jazzed-out rendition of
Little Feat's surrealist ballad, "All That You Dream" highlight this effort. Another winner is
Warren Zevon's, "Mohammed's Radio," in which Godot turns out to be rock & roll and Mohammed's radio is the grail.
