Product Description
The idiosyncratic and innovative music of Rosanne Cash, daughter of Johnny Cash, made her one of the pre-eminent singer/songwriters of her day. Although Rosanne Cash is often classified as a country artist, her music draws on many genres, including folk, pop, rock and blues. In the 1980s, she had a string of chart-topping singles, which crossed musical genres and landed on both C&W and Top 100 charts, the most commercially successful being her 1981 breakthrough hit "Seven Year Ache", which topped the U.S. country singles charts and reached the Top 30 on the U.S. pop singles charts. Included on The Essential Rosanne Cash are 36 tracks over 2 discs, including 10 #1 US Country singles.

There is a story here on The Essential Rosanne Cash that runs from 1978's "Can I Still Believe In You" to 2009's "Sweet Memories." Within the joints and joists of these songs Cash married, had children, married again, had children again, traveled, lived in five cities on two continents, lost loved ones, got sick and got well again. Many of the selections on this compilation are signposts of sorts for the landmarks of her life, and the personal and musical are essentially interwoven.

Added to my shopping list.

Curious if anything here is previously unreleased.

We've got the full track listing with discographical info up here:

Enjoy!

not that i see, and i have most everything by her, including one-offs.

Looks like a nice comp. Disc number two in particular is top to bottom great stuff. A good chance for anybody who hasn't been following her career to check her out.

Here is a tracklisting that indicates the source of each track. There is at least one rarity, with the track from Rosanne's Ariola album, released on only in Germany, and I don't believe it has EVER been on CD anywhere. It is also nice that it includes the Vince Gill and Rodney Crowell duets. Too bad it didn't include the Neko Case duet from "The List", which I believe was an itunes only release.

A truly fabulous comp.

Eye only wish they could have included her 2 other major hits, Ain't No Money (D) which hit #4 Country, and Second To No One (F) which hit #5 Country...

BTW, for anybody who gets this, likes it, and wants to know what to get next, I think Black Cadillac is absolute pinnacle of her career so far. It's one of the few CDs in the past ten years that dug in so deep for me that I hardly listened to anything else for weeks. I always have so many discs around that I never have time to listen as much as I want, so for an album to dominate my listening like that is really unusual these days. I love that record.

My fav is Interiors.

FYI

there is a promo only edition of "interiors" with a couple of additional songs ('portrait' and 'all come true') and a slightly different cover and song order.

FYI #2

The 2005 Columbia/Legacy remaster of "Interiors" has the additional songs in Renny's post, plus two previously unreleased tracks-- a live version of "This World" and an acoustic version of "What We Really Want."

Per the list of my collection, U have that remaster, but I'd totally forgotten about the extra tracks!

she does a beautiful version of "wouldn't it be lovely" (yep, the show tune) on a columbia records radio hour comp. one of my favorite tunes by her.

I didn't know there was a remastered Interiors with extra tracks. I'm going to have to find that one.
