Ms. Cash's 'The List' is the *best* new album I've heard in a long time. Does she have any plans to make more album's, based on her father's list and if so, when ??
Thanks,

I saw "Million Dollar Quartet" and wonder if she has watched shows about her father.
Neither Bruce nor Rosanne has ever sounded better than on Sea of Heartbreak.
A friend recommended Black Cadillac. The songs (and album graphics) are about the deaths she was processing--the most painful, beautiful songs she has written. I have listened to the recording only once: the Mother's Day that came along a couple of months after my mother passed away. The songs burned into me.
I loved what she said about her potential self being an entity of her future; she also spoke of wanting to write the songs for her next album.
Given the power and depth of Black Cadillac, I am excited to see where she will go next. I cannot imagine her going deeper into her personal core.
Roseanne, Chapin, and Emmylou have, in recent years, written some of the most exquisite, introspective--dare I say, mature--songs in the last decade.
So glad they are living their gifts.
Interesting interview today with Rosanne Cash. As a traditional country music fan I have a greater appreciation for both Rosanne and her music.
Rosanne's words about life and her father were well said.I am glad you had her on.
