Ok, I know it's a literary thread, but I just got this album and it's one of her best. For those of you not from the South (who shiver at Country Music), Rosanne is Johnny Cash's daughter. She's the eldest of the children with the wife before June Carter Cash, so I'm assuming the 1st wife. She is a great singer and songwriter and has lived in New York City for about 15 years (ok, I'm a fan not a stalker).
The songs are about the recent deaths in her family. I saw her on CBS Sunday morning and she said," It isn't autobiographical if it rhymes, right?". I thought that was funny. She delivered it very dryly and avoided conversation about how she felt about Walk the Line (she just said she was biased since she had her own viewpoint as a young girl and pre-teen when most of it occurred).
There is probably a better place for this, but it's been a very well received album. I tend to like more folk and blue grass given my family's mountain and my own midwest background, and she's more country ballad with a number of country rock songs.
