...followed it only a few months later with another album, which, not surprisingly, closely resembles its predecessor. The basic pattern of Ronstadt's records, in fact, has changed little since Silk Purse, running from bluesy rock to straight and progressive country to gentle folk ballads. There is nothing very daring on Prisoner in Disguise, but if Ronstadt appears to be getting complacent, she has also developed a new self-assurance and poise...
...evidence was fragmentary and scattered and painfully hard to gather, but slowly it accumulated-a red Volkswagen camper, a fingerprint discovered at a farmhouse in Pennsylvania, a post office box in San Francisco.
