...STANDOUT OF Ronstadt's latest, though is Little Feat pulser, almost reminiscent of "Poor, Poor Pitiful Me." Carried along by Russ Kunkel's sure-handed, driving drum beat and a steady Kenny Edwards bass line, Ronstadt displays the power of her sharp, brassy voice in a heavily throaty verse that rises to an upbeat, bold chorus. The bright, '70s rocker contrasts strongly to "Oooh Baby Baby," a mellow Smokey Robinson tune in which Ronstadt uses two male backup vocalists who add a sweet falsetto giving the song a Motown-like sound.
