"I'm holdin' back the tears while you're pushin' me away. But on the surface everything's okay. Yeah on the surface, everything's okay.....
"On the Surface" - Rosanne Cash
Cherished friends gave this to me as a Christmas gift and its exquisite and often poignant exploration of love and the human heart is both elegant and graceful beyond words. Yet those words, crafted for the most part by Rosanne Cash herself, are like diamond settings in a fragile necklace; singularly beautiful but even lovelier when strung together. This new compilation is a reworking of her "Hits" collection that includes some of her most beautiful recent work.
"Blue moon out my window, guess this means goodnight. And you come in and start right in, not treatin' me right."
"Blue Moon with Heartache" - Rosanne Cash
Roseanne Cash's music eventually became too expansive and exquisite for country radio. Not rock enough for that format either, she took her own path, legions of fans yearning for her emotional and intelligent reflections on our search for "What We Really Want," which, of course, is love. That search is often painful and leaving in its wake pieces of our hearts like ashes from a fire. That fire burns bright in the lush, sultry and sophisticated vocals of Cash.
"No one sees behind the mask. No one knows I'm sinkin' fast. Soon we'll be sleeping in Paris. And we can set those angels free....
"Sleeping in Paris" - Rosanne Cash
Whether it's a blueprint for "The Way We Make a Broken Heart" or the yearning of "I Don't Know Why You Don't Want Me" this 25 year compilation of songs from one of the most gifted singer/songwriters/producers in the music business is certain to please anyone with an ear for beauty and truth. Listening to Cash is like looking at a tear-stained velvet dress and having someone tell you the story behind every blemish. A terrific gift for the heart.
Very Best of PosterJohnny Cash's eldest daughter has certainly come far from her days apprenticing in his stage show. An earnest late-'70s country rocker, she evolved into a sophisticated singer-songwriter whose blend of traditional country and mainstream folk and literate, dark worldview anticipated alt.country decades before it emerged. This 1983-2003 anthology includes her debut hit "No Memories Hangin' 'Round," a 1979 duet with Bobby Bare. While "My Baby Thinks He's a Train," the 1981 rockabilly twanger first recorded by Asleep at the Wheel, seemed to herald a retro direction, Cash confounded those who would speculate on her direction. She complemented compelling originals like "Seven Year Ache" and "Blue Moon with Heartache" with her definitive rendition of John Hiatt's "The Way We Make a Broken Heart" and a crisp revival of her dad's 1961 hit "Tennessee Flat Top Box." The set also samples her songwriting collaborations with former husband Rodney Crowell and current husband-producer John Leventhal. For those just discovering the second generation of Cash talent, this is an enlightening start. --Rich Kienzle Recommended Rosanne Cash  Seven Year Ache |  King's Record Shop |  Interiors |
