the apples don't fall far from the trees The selections are perfect. This is a great recording. The duet with her father is outstanding and poignant. Beautiful music. Not really country (which I am not fond of). .
Good despite a rough shipper
Having worked for a major shipper when I was younger, I believe the damage was from the shipper. All three CD's I ordered showed up damaged. This retailer had a fast and efficient method of returning the products. Within five minutes I had the return shipping labels in my hand and a new set of CD's were on the way. The new CD's arrived within a few days perfectly intact. I believe a good indicator of a business is not only how well they perform when things go right, but how well they perform when things don't go right through no fault of their own.
I would definitely buy from them again.
Worth Having
As a Rosanne Cash fan from the beginning (late 70's and early 80's), this Best of. . is well worth having. But it leaves out some of the other great material from the individual albums. Might want to check those out too if you're really into her stuff.
Roseanne Cash is Awesome
Her voice is smooth, clear and sultry. What a treat to listen to a great compilation of a wonderful singer/song writer. Her writting tallents are indisputable and each song is wonderfully produced with accomplished musicians. She sounds a lot like Trisha Yearwood at times which is of course a compliment. It's unusual to enjoy nearly every song on an album but this is one of those rare beauties.
A Great Artist . . . A Great Collection
. "the very best of ROSEANNE CASH" is that . . well . . . probably the "very best" we might remember hearing "on the radio" (so often artist's album tracks surpass the "radio play" songs and hits) . . . but on this collection . . . track after track Roseanne Cash works her magic on both the songs and on the listener . . .
sixteen tracks that keep your ear and mind glued to the speakers . . . and she touches both your heart and your mind . . .
i picked up this particular collection (a colection persobally overseen by Roseanne herself) especially for her recording of "TENNESSEE FLAT TOP BOX" -- i had a 45 RPM of this song by Johnny Cash when i was a kid . . . and Roseanne does this song proud and doesn't miss even the smallest glimmer of memory of that earlier recording. . . Roseanne performed this song at a memorial for Johnny Cash and you could sense both the smile and the tear and the pride in her as she sang it then.
speaking of Johnny Cash, this collection contains one of Johnny's last recordings . . . a duet with Roseanne - "SEPTEMBER WHEN IT COMES" . . . when the shadows lengthen . . . welcoming a place to rest . . . and you can sense it in Johnny's voice.
of course Roseanne's "hits" are here: "THE WHEEL" . . . "THE WAY WE MAKE A BROKEN HEART" (one of my favorites) . . . "I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU DON'T WANT ME" . . . and a great alternate version of "NEVER BE YOU" . . . and more . . .
i bought this cd for "TENNESSEE FLAT TOP BOX" but got so much more . . . not a disappointing track on it . . . not one to make you hit "skip" . . . and all of them move you to hit "replay" . . .
thanks Roseanne cash for all the music over all those years . . . and for all that yet awaits us in the years yet to come . . . and thanks for THIS collection of "the very best of ROSEANNE CASH". :).
