New Old Music: Rosanne Cash - The List

I downloaded The List yesterday on a whim. It's the latest from Rosanne Cash, daughter of the late, great Johnny Cash. I wasn't familiar with Rosanne's music at all, but I heard her on Fresh Air on Monday, the day before the album was released, and the story behind it was interesting. The 13 songs on the album are taken from a list of 100 songs that Johnny Cash gave to his daughter when she was 18 - classic, essential country songs to inspire her in her musical development. It's a wonderful collection of beautiful, melancholy music. Really well done. There are also appearances by a few big names: Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, Jeff Tweedy, Rufus Wainwright, and Neko Case.



Here's the entire album for your persual:
