The List by Rosanne Cash
The List is an album by Rosanne Cash, released in 2009. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 5 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Sea Of Heartbreak”, on 4 lists with a best position of #10.
The List, Rosanne Cash's twelfth studio album and her only one for Manhattan Records, came out on October 6, 2009, and it grew out of a family heirloom: a list of 100 essential country and American songs that Johnny Cash handed his daughter when she was 18, to fill the gaps in her education. John Leventhal produced, and she works through the syllabus with a light, sure touch, covering Jimmie Rodgers, the Carter Family, Don Gibson, Ray Price, Lefty Frizzell, Patsy Cline, Bob Dylan and the old folk song "Motherless Children".
Some of it hits close to home. Her father had cut "Sea of Heartbreak", "The Long Black Veil" and "Girl from the North Country" himself, and the record is dedicated to him. Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, Jeff Tweedy and Rufus Wainwright all drop by. It became the highest-charting album of her career on the Billboard 200 and won Album of the Year at the 2010 Americana Music Honors & Awards.
