Adieu False Heart is a collaborative album byAmerican singer, songwriter, and producerLinda Ronstadt featuringCajun music singerAnn Savoy. It peaked at #146 on theBillboard album chart and nominated at the 2006 Grammy Awards forBest Traditional Folk Album andBest Engineered Album, Non-Classical. This was Ronstadt's final studio album before her retirement in 2011 and the revelation of her affliction withParkinson's disease (later revealed to actually beprogressive supranuclear palsy) in 2013, leaving her unable to perform or sing.

Ronstadt, a soprano, and Savoy, an alto, had previously recorded duets for the Savoy-produced albumEvangeline Made: A Tribute to Cajun Music; here, they sing together as The Zozo Sisters on the album, which brings together a mixture of Louisiana Cajun sounds, popular music of the 20th century, and folk/rock classics. The album includes an interpretation ofThe Left Banke's 1966 hit "Walk Away Renée",Harry Belafonte's 1950s hit byJohn Jacob Niles "Go Away From My Window" and the French classic "Parlez-Moi D'Amour". Ronstadt takes lead onJulie Miller's "I Can't Get Over You," with Julie's husbandBuddy Miller on guitar and Savoy takes lead onRichard Thompson's "Burns' Supper."

On her collaboration with Savoy, Ronstadt remarked: "We could have made a quilt, I guess, except we're musicians, so we're making a record together instead. She sings in French — I don't speak French — but there's traditional love in this bond."^[4]

The album was recorded atDirk Powell’s Cypress House Studio inLouisiana. It features local musicians, including Chas Justus, Eric Frey and Kevin Wimmer of theRed Stick Ramblers, Sam Broussard of The Mamou Playboys,Dirk Powell and Joel Savoy, as well as Nashville performers, like fiddler Stuart Duncan, mandolinistSam Bush and guitarist Bryan Sutton.

The Ronstadt/Savoy album received good reviews and landed on several year-end Top Ten lists. It peaked at #146 on theBillboard album chart. The recording earned twoGrammy Award nominations, includingBest Traditional Folk Album andBest Engineered Album, Non-Classical.
