Hand Sown ... Home Grown

Hand Sown ... Home Grown is a studio album by American singer Linda Ronstadt.

The album consisted of 11 tracks, many of which were covers that fused the country rock and folk genres.

Linda Ronstadt had become successful as part of the folk trio the Stone Poneys (which also included Bob Kimmel and Kenny Edwards).

The album also included a version of the John D. Loudermilk country song "Break My Mind".

[9] Following its release, it was reviewed by Billboard who commented that Ronstadt "has lost of none of the excitement she generated while with the Stone Poneys".

[2] Rolling Stone called it "a distinctive, if not unique, approach to country music as rock.

"[7] Giving it three stars, AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote, "Hand Sown…Home Grown might not quite hit the mark -- it not only has one foot in L.A. and one in Nashville, Ronstadt still has the folk affectations of the Stone Poneys -- but it's often entertaining to hear he stretch out and find her own voice, and its best moments point the way toward her future.
