She has lent her voice to over 120 albums. Christopher Loudon of Jazz Times noted in 2004, Ronstadt is "Blessed with arguably the most sterling set of pipes of her generation ... rarest of rarities – a chameleon who can blend into any background yet remain boldly distinctive ... It's an exceptional gift; one shared by few others."In total, she has released over 30 studio albums and 15 compilation or greatest hits albums.

- Linda_Ronstadt quote "" enough clout and ... after years and years of making commercial records, I was entitled to experiment ... the success of the ... entitled me to try the Mexican stuff."".
- Linda_Ronstadt quote """Music is meant to lighten your load. By singing it ... you release . And release yourself ... an exercise in exorcism. ... You exorcise that emotion ... and diminish sadness and feel joy."".
- Linda_Ronstadt quote ""Everybody has their own level of doing their music. ... Mine just happened to resonate over the years, in one way and another, with a significant enough number of people so that I could do it professionally."".
- Linda_Ronstadt quote ""I don't record that I didn't hear in my family's living room by the time I was 10. It just is my rule that I don't break because ... I can't do it authentically ... I really think that you're just hard-wiring in your brain up until the age of maybe 12 or 10, and there are certain things you can't learn in an authentic way after that."".
- Linda_Ronstadt quote ""I grew up singing Mexican music, and that's based on indigenous Mexican rhythms. Mexican music also has an overlay of West African music, based on huapango drums, and it's kind of like a 6/8 time signature, but it really is a very syncopated 6/8. And that's how I attack vocals."".
- Linda_Ronstadt quote ""I now realize I was taking a tremendous risk, and that Joe Smith was looking out for himself, and for me. When it became apparent I wouldn't change my mind, he said: 'I love Nelson so much! Can I please come to the sessions. I said 'Yes.' "When the albums ... were successful, Joe congratulated me, and I never said 'I told you so.'"".
- Linda_Ronstadt quote ""In general when you fall in love with an artist and their music, the plan is a fairly simple one. .. get people to go and see them, and make a record that you think properly presents their music to the public and some of which you can get on the radio."".
- Linda_Ronstadt quote ""In the United States we spend millions of dollars on sports because it promotes teamwork, discipline, and the experience of learning to make great progress in small increments. Learning to play music together does all this and more."".
- Linda_Ronstadt quote ""Judy Henske, who was the then reigning queen of folk music, said to me at The Troubadour, 'Honey, in this town there are four sexes. Men, women, homosexuals, and girl singers.'"".
- Linda_Ronstadt quote ""Rampant eclecticism is my middle name."".
