Rosanne Cash

If you haven't heard Rosanne Cash's Black Cadillac, start listening. It's part elegy for her father, Johnny Cash, her stepmother, June Carter Cash, and her mother, Vivian Liberto Cash Distin. It's also an audio chronicle of a daughter coping with their deaths. According to the singer, she began writing the songs in the spring of 2003 (June died in May) and continued through the spring of 2005 (Vivian died in May of that year). Johnny died in September of 2003.

There is some beautiful music on this CD.

(Snort. iTunes classifies it as rock.)
