CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Johnny 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 Similar CDs

CD ReviewsLives up to it's title Allen Chapman | STAFFORD SPRINGS, CT USA | 11/08/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "There are many Rosanne Cash collections out there. This one lives up to it's title though. The songs collected here are truly some of the best from Rosanne's albums. Although most of the songs on here were hits there are a few that recieved little to no airplay. Her #1 country singles are included as well as one previously unreleased track. That track, "Never Be You" was originally recorded in 1983 for the "Streets Of Fire" soundtrack. For whatever reason Rosanne's version wasn't included on the soundtrack, instead Maria McKee's take on the Tom Petty song was. Rosanne would later redo the song for her "Rhythm & Romance" album in 1985. The original version, produced by Rodney Crowell and Jimmy Iovine lacks the punch of her later remake, but is a gem nonetheless. Just about each of Rosanne's albums from 1979 thru 2003 are represented here. Only 1982's "Somewhere In The Stars" is overlooked. Too bad too, "Ain't No Money" was the hit from that album but perhaps because it's sounds too much like "Seven Year Ache" it's not thought of as her best? In a sense "Very Best Of" replaces her earlier "Greatest Hits" disc, in some ways it's a nice companion to it. If you're new to the music of Rosanne Cash, this album is a good place to start. If you find you do like this album, you'll want to explore the other albums in her catalog. For the most part, Rosanne's albums are much like Emmylou Harris's in that there really isn't a weak one in the bunch." Not a "Greatest Hits" CD, but still a fine collection. Invisiboy2001 | Chicago, IL United States | 11/08/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "First off, this is not a Rosanne Cash greatest-hits collection. Many #1 ("If You Change your Mind," "Runaway Train," etc.) and Top-10 ("Ain't No Money," "I Wonder," etc.) songs are absent, while lesser-known tracks are included -- many of which are essential Cash recordings, such as the exquisite "Seventh Avenue" and "September When It Comes," a duet with her late father, Johnny Cash. A few tracks, namely "Hold On" and "No Memories Hangin' Around," are head-scratchers, because they are clearly not among the artist's best material. Still, this fine singer-songwriter oversaw this compilation, so she must be especially proud of those records for some reason. This CD doesn't really accomplish being a distinct take on Cash's biggest hits or a representation of her finest non-hit work. It draws a line down the middle, providing a healthy portion of each. In all honesty, this is probably the best CD for introducing a friend to Cash's music, as it draws from each of her albums, with the exception of "Somewhere in the Stars," an album with some fine tracks. The sound quality is quite good, having been refreshed by a superb remastering job. And a nice bonus treat is the original version of "Never be You" from 1983, which had not been released prior to this album. This rare track was included, obviously, to entice long-time fans to buy the album, and the ploy worked on me. " One track missing T. B. | San Francisco | 01/05/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "Unfortunately, the cd doesn't have Rosanne's version of "Wouldn't It Be Loverly" from the Best of the Columbia Radio Hour vol. 1 cd. It's worth seeking out if you don't have it for this beautiful performance (and many other great tracks). Otherwise, this is a terrific overview."
