Rosanne Cash, The Essential Rosanne Cash (Rumble Strip) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada)

After a website-exclusive release, The Essential Rosanne Cash hits retail today.  This newly-curated set brings together 40 of Cash's most treasured recordings - half from her tenure on Columbia Records and the other from mostly 21st century work on the Capitol, Manhattan, and Blue Note labels. The non-chronological anthology, overseen by Cash herself, features all 10 of her No. 1 country singles, including "Seven Year Ache," "I Don't Know Why You Don't Want Me," "Never Be You," "The Way We Make a Broken Heart," and "Tennessee Flat Top Box," along with duets with country and rock legends like Elvis Costello, Bruce Springsteen, Bobby Bare, Jeff Tweedy, and - in one of his final recordings before his passing - Rosanne's father Johnny Cash. The 2CD set features her own liner notes as well as ones penned by RJ Smith of the Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum, where the exhibition Rosanne Cash: Time is a Mirror runs through March of 2026.  Read more here.
