Rosanne Cash is even more sensitive than I thought...

"It's not her angriest song, though. Told she had a month to write something else after her mother died, Cash responded with "Like Fugitives," which lashes out most directly at religion.

Cash remains bitter at how her mother, a Catholic, was shunned by her church for many years after her divorce. And many supposedly religious people sent Cash angry mail after she spoke out against the Iraq war. Your God-fearing daddy would be ashamed, they wrote, "not realizing that he was as opposed to it as I was," she said.

"I didn't want to believe in their God - that punitive, vengeful, angry guy," she said. "That's not the God that I believe in and I resent people trying to project their God into my life."

I remembered her years ago for "Seven Year Ache" when I was in high school, but about 13 years ago, I got one of my first listens to her album "The Wheel."

It's an incredible album-- much of it documents her divorce from Rodney Crowell. It has been one of my favorites for years now. Especially "Rise From the Ashes", which I listen to when I'm dealing with major problems in life.

She has a new album coming out Tuesday, and it documents a lot of what she was going through during the deaths of her father, stepmother, and then her mother.

Most importantly, I had no idea she had spoken out against the Iraq war.

Not only is she an incredible talent, she's smart too. This is one album I really want to pick up.

6. A new Rosanne Cash record? I MUST have it.

I have most of hter other ones, even the ones that weren't so great. If you like someone, and want them to keep recording, you gotta support them even if some of theri work isn't the greatest (I beleive).

7. Black Cadillac is SUCH a moving song.

I wondered if she wrote it about her father's death/funeral the first time I heard it.

11. Oh. My. God. That song KILLS.

"One of us gets to go to Heaven
One has to stay here in Hell."

"It was a Black Cadillac,
Like one you used to drive.
You were always rollin'
But those wheels burnt up your life."

:wow:
