A bit more heartache for ya this morning. This comes from a CD of a list of what Johnny Cash considered to be 100 essential country tunes he felt Rosanne should know. He wrote the list and gave it to her when she was 18. Since there are only 12 cuts on this CD, I suppose we may hear some more volumes coming our way, if this is successful. She does a fine job with all the tunes.One more for you ...

Was listening to the new Springsteen-Rosanne duet "Sea of Heartbreak" and ended up coming across this old video. The look she gives the camera walking down the street about 20 seconds into this is kind of a "wow" moment -- she really had it going on in the early 80s -- and still does!

I had read a few headlines in the last week or so about the fact that it had come to light that the US Government had used musical torture on people at Guantanamo Bay. One of the rumored tunes used was the Sesame Street theme song. Yeah, I can see that being torture. Well my first thought when reading the headlines was, "that's why I listen to country music, who could use that as torture?
Here's what Rosanne Cash and I have in common: We were born in the same year, we live in New York City, and we lost our fathers in the not-too-distant past.

It's why I love Black Cadillac, her meditation on/tribute to the lives and deaths of her dad, mom, and stepmother. These songs are spare and true and te...

It's really a sad story about the house; they bought it in the 1960s and lived there until they both died in 2003. I recently returned to the house in which I grew up, from age 5 to 19. My daughter received a birthday invitation f...
