My appreciation for Rosanne Cash has grown steadily over the years. Originally she probably did trade a bit on her father's name but she had carved her own unique path and is a leading light in today's Country Music world. I have already written about last year's stunning The River and The Thread. The List was her previous record to that and was the second recorded in memory of her father. The first was the excellent personal record Black Cadillac with some gutsy personal songs. This was prompted by a list Johnny gave her of his favourite songs. Here she picks a dozen of them and gives them her own treatment (sometimes helped by the likes of Springsteen and Costello).
Johnny sure had good taste.
The list include Merle Haggard's Silver Wings, I'm Moving On, Dylan's Girl from North Country, Hedy West's 500 Miles (not the Proclaimers) and Hank Cochrane's She's Got You.
I hope that she picks another dozen soon.
