Free Music Review: Standing the test of time
Hit: 5 Stars
Normally I don't go for "easy listening" sorts of music... but this is something well beyond that. There are several points about "The Wheel" that make it a unique collection of songs, though there is nothing particularly inventive or unusual. Musically, "The Wheel" is a classic example of "less is more" - I don't find it to be overproduced at all... and the arrangements are even a bit spare at times. Rosanne Cash does have a wonderful voice, though I'm not sure I'd call it a "small" voice. Yes, maybe it is "small" compared to Ann Wilson, Patty Griffin, Pat Benatar or Annie Lennox - but what voice wouldn't be in that company? Cash has a very different approach, never a power voice or a blasting set of pipes. Cash does the perfect thing with her voice on this CD - she brings out the subtleties and gentler dynamics of her instrument. "Tears Falling Down" is a great showcase for her voice, with the soft backing music that develops a solid presence as one goes deeper into the song. The songs here are very much personal touchstones - Cash has put forth songs that most people can relate to very easily. If that was her goal, I think she succeeds remarkably. "Roses in the Fire" is one of those songs that could be the soundtrack to any breakup - and "The Truth About You" is a soundtrack to really connecting with someone... in between those extremes are songs like "Sleeping in Paris", "Seventh Avenue" and the title track that all seem to resonate with the art of living in general. my favorite track is the last one "If There's a God on My Side"... who hasn't asked those questions --- and who says God has to be a man in the first place!!! When I listen to this CD, that twist in that song sums up the entire work very nicely.
The Wheel Poster
Rosanne Cash went through some major changes after 1990's critical triumph Interiors. She divorced her longtime producer and husband Rodney Crowell, she moved from Nashville to Manhattan, and she shifted her career from Columbia's country division to its pop division. What hasn't changed is her music. The Wheel boasts the same kind of extremely personal portraits of troubled marriage and unsettled womanhood set to the same sort of lucid folk-pop as her previous three albums. No one in Anglo-American pop does it better. Cash is the Billie Holiday of country singers. Her small voice sometimes wanders off pitch, but she invests her soft, close-microphone vocals with so much core emotion that she creates the illusion of whispering the most intimate secrets into each listener's ear. Her translucent voice projects such resilient strength that the listener's reaction is not pity but gratitude for the confidence. --Geoffrey HimesCountry Music CDs
