Linda Ronstadt on New Documentary, Her Mexican Heritage and the 2020 Election
“One year after The Sound of My Voice, Linda Ronstadt will star in another documentary: Linda and the Mockingbirds. Directed by James Keach, the film chronicles her 2019 visit to Mexico with Jackson Browne and the students of Los Cenzontles Cultural Arts Academy.
In the new trailer, Ronstadt, Browne, and Los Cenzontles embark on the bus ride from the Bay Area to Mexico. Due to Ronstadt’s health (she was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 2012), she had to be able to lay down during the ride. “That’s another reason for the bus,” she tells Rolling Stoneover the phone from her home in San Francisco. “My back can’t take sitting. I had to be as horizontal as possible.””
