Heart Like a Wheel (1974) is Linda Ronstadt's fifth solo album release and the last-ever of her studio projects for Capitol Records, released in 1974. In fulfillment of her contract, Ronstadt owed Capitol one more album and, as such, brought in producer Peter Asher, who worked with her on Don't Cry Now, and multi-instrumentalist and arranger Andrew Gold. Asher and Gold have been credited over the years as being a collaborative part of the album's artistic success. The result — a more refined and streamlined mix of Country and Rock than her previous releases, with less of a Folk influence — proved to be Ronstadt's commercial breakthrough, the album that many critics later said would standardize the musical formula for her subsequent albums in the 1970s. Released in late 1974, Heart Like a Wheel became the first of her three No. 1 peaks on the Billboard album chart, reaching the perch for the week ending Feb. 15, 1975, right alongside the No. 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100, "You're No Good." Ronstadt was featured for the first time on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine in its March 27, 1975, issue.
