Silk Purse is
Linda Ronstadt's second solo album, released in March 1970. It was recorded at Woodland Recording Studios in Nashville. The album featured songs in a heavier, more traditional country setting than Ronstadt's previous album or her work with the
Stone Poneys. Linda were backed up by the pioneering band
Swampwater featuring
Gib Guilbeau (vocals & fiddle),
John Beland (vocals, guitars, dobro),
Thad Maxwell(bass), Eric White (bass) and
Stan Pratt (drums). Gib & John later played also in the
Flying Burrito Brothers and scored 9 hits for Curb in the 80’s. The cover shows Linda with Paul McCartney in front.

@Hazy Dave:
Congatulations, you're the very first person to wonder about this. In 1971 Mr. Lennon released his fine solo album Imagine. Imagine was packed with a photography showing John with a pig fighting. The pig was a sign to no other than Paul McCartney and he answered with the cover of his Ram album. So the pig could be the same as on Lindas cover, who knows. ;-)
