Cash Release |
Special Ops reports: Rosanne Cash's Black
Cadillac, to be released January 24 by Capitol Records, is perhaps the
most compelling release of her distinguished career. She wrote the twelve-song
musical memoir over roughly two years in which she lost her father Johnny
Cash, her stepmother June Carter Cash, and her mother Vivian Liberto Cash
Distin. Yet Black Cadillac is remarkable not just for the context in which
it was created, but for the defining achievement it represents in the scope
of Rosanne's own artistry and life. She describes the album as "a personal
history and an overview of my ancestry," and also as "a fusion of songs,
musicians, and producers that was a dream and a dream fulfilled at the
same time." With Black Cadillac, Rosanne confronts her family legacy as
never before while simultaneously pursuing her own bold creative path with
renewed commitment. Click the full story link to hear the title track -
