 When Rosanne Cash was 18, her father, music legend Johnny Cash, gave her a list of 100 country, blues, folk and gospel songs he felt it vital that she learn to love. For her latest full-length release, she's chosen a dozen songs from that master list, and she brings the wistful mood that's infused much of her own writing to the material, which uniformly focuses on loss and heartache.[Note: An earlier version of this post misspelled Cash's first name as Roseanne in the headline.] The instrumentation is spare, yet elegant; this isn't the stripped-down music Johnny made with producer Rick Rubin in his final years, but it is often haunting just the same. Rosanne's voice plaintively pierces to the emotional heart of the traditional "Motherless Children," Merle Haggard’s "Silver Wings," Hank Cochran's forlorn "She's Got You" and, dipping into her extended-family's musical wellspring, A.P. Carter's "Bury Me Under the Weeping Willow."...full text |

| In 1973, when she was an 18-year-old rock fan, Rosanne Cash's dad gave her a list of songs he felt she should know — mostly country, all falling under the current banner Americana. She held onto that list, and now she's recorded a dozen tunes from it. You can't go wrong with "Long Black Veil" (cut here with Wilco's Jeff Tweedy), Hank Snow's "I'm Movin' On," or Dylan's "Girl from the North Country" (the elder Cash's duet with Zimmy is definitive; Rosanne's solo version is sweet and plaintive). With Rosanne's husband, John Leventhal, producing, The List is a mostly unadorned affair, the arrangements kept simple and her voice high in the mix....full text |
