Heart Like a Wheel is the fifth solo studio album by Linda Ronstadt, released in November 1974. It received a Grammy Award and is regarded by some as Ronstadt's breakthrough album. It was also Ronstadt's last album released by Capitol Records. The album was co-produced by Peter Asher and Andrew Gold. Heart Like A Wheel spent four weeks at #1 on the Billboard Country Album chart in early 1975. The follow-up single release, a version of The Everly Brothers' "When Will I Be Loved," spent two weeks at #2 on the Hot 100 in June 1975 and reached #1 on the Cash Box Pop singles chart and on the Hot Country Songs chart. Heart Like a Wheel spent 51 weeks on the album chart and Billboard picked Ronstadt as top female pop artist of the year. In 1976 the album was nominated for four Grammy Awards including winning Best Country Vocal Performance Female for "I Can't Help It If I'm Still In Love with You". The entire album was nominated for Album Of The Year and Best Pop Vocal Performance Female.

Following the same formula as her early records, Heart Like a Wheel doesn't appear to be a great breakthrough on the surface. However, Ronstadt comes into her own on this mix of oldies and contemporary classics. Backed by a fleet of Los Angeles musicians, Ronstadt sings with vigor and passion, helping bring the music alive. But what really makes Heart Like a Wheel a breakthrough is the inventive arrangements that producer Peter Asher, Ronstadt, and the studio musicians have developed. Finding the right note for each song -- whether it's the soulful reworking of "When Will I Be Loved," the hit "You're No Good," or the laid-back folk-rock of "Willing" -- the musicians help turn Heart Like a Wheel into a veritable catalog of Californian soft rock, and it stands as a landmark of '70s mainstream pop/rock.
