Ground breaking, and how I wish Rosanne would have kept on with this kind of music. One of the ten best country albums of all time - period. . .

Alas, her first two are going to stay her best two from the looks of things.

Rosanne's Best.
SEVEN YEAR ACHE is the best of them. Before she decided she wanted to be Joni Mitchell, and before her horrible contribution to the Laura Nyro tribute album, Rosanne Cash use to make nifty little country rock albums. The songs and production are all first rate, and Rosanne hasn't come close to making another album this good since. This is the one to get if you're only getting one.

The Good ol' Days...
But, her records in the '90s are *not* my cup of tea. I love Rosanne Cash's voice and her brand of cool. The seem doleful and whiny -- like she's got a big ol' headache whenever she's in the studio.

This one, though, was made in the early 80s -- her prime, IMHO -- and it finds her in great voice, with a stellar collection of uptempo country and pop tunes. The title track -- her biggest hit to date (let's face it: ever) -- is great. "Raining" is a great lead-off song. "My Baby Thinks He's a Train" is a great interpretion of the Asleep at the Wheel classic, and "I Wonder" and "I Can't Resist" show her at her soulful best. If you're trying to find a good place to start with RC, start hear. And while you're at, say a little prayer that she returns to this kind of music.
