Amazon.com essential recording Four consecutive No. 1 country singles made this a fine near farewell from Cash to Nashville. She cut two more singles for a hits compilation before turning to a folkier confessionalism on Interiors. King's Record Shop works on a high level, stuffing a cold-eyed John Hiatt dissection of adultery ("Way We Make a Broken Heart") onto the same record as the domestic-violence treatise "Rosie Strike Back" and a fear-stricken view of a hobbled marriage in "Runaway Train." Musically, this is a digital-era blueprint for hot country, but with much more soul than ever invaded a disc by Shania Twain. --Rickey Wright Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsGreat album then, great album now! Allen Chapman | STAFFORD SPRINGS, CT USA | 01/21/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "This album has been a favorite of mine since it was first released in 1987. The #1 hit "The Way We Make A Broken Heart" is one of those songs that I just never get tired of hearing. As with Rosanne's other albums, there is no filler on the disc. Each song is a standout. The album was a return to a more country sound after her more pop sounding "Rhythm & Romance" album from 1985 (another favorite of mine). As for the remastering on the disc, the sound quality is pristine. In the booklet is an essay about the album in which, among other things, the album's cover shot is discussed. The shot was actually two seperate photos, an existing shot of the actual record shop with Rosanne (and the "Seven Year Ache" album) superimposed into the shot. This was way before computers made such a task so easy! As for the bonus tracks, "707" was recorded for the album but left off the original release, it did appear on the "Retrospective" disc. There are two live tracks recorded in the 1990's These tracks sound muddy compared to the rest of the album, but are welcomed additions nonetheless. The album is a must!" Non-Trad Country R. M. Ettinger | Cleveland Heights, OH USA | 04/22/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "...even for 1987. A return to Nashville for Cash after 1985's 'Rhythm & Romance', 'King's Record Shop' finds her in good form. And Nashville rewards her w/four #1 singles from this disk (the first for any female country artist). Though her own tunes are sorely lacking here (or mostly), Cash makes up for w/superb song selection from other writers/artists. John Haitt's "The Way We Make a Broken Heart" in lesser hands could have come off as one of the cheesiest country songs ever. She pulls it off flawlessly. Almost all the cuts are stand-out (though I love "I Don't Have to Crawl" "Real Me" and "Runaway Train). Though everyone seems to love the cover of her father's "Tennesse Flat Top Box" it's never resonated with me, but that's a small thing on this disk. Cash went on to make better disks, but this is still a solid purchase. The remaster is clear and leaves the songs in better shape than they were in 1987. The copy protection on the disk allowed me to play in various players and rip and upload to iTunes/iPod. Unlike some other players, except for their momentary lapse in judgement, Sony hasn't screwed around too much w/that as of yet. Since it is a reissue, there are the obligatory extra cuts. "707" is ok, but a rehash from the 'Retrospective' disk." Rosie Strikes Back Dan Kellerby | Nashville | 01/15/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Rosanne's best effort and a classic that belongs in any serious collection of country, americana, roots or rock and roll."
