"I love Rosanne Cash's voice and her brand of cool. But, her records in the '90s are *not* my cup of tea. The seem doleful and whiny -- like she's got a big ol' headache whenever she's in the studio.This one, though, was made in the early 80s -- her prime, IMHO -- and it finds her in great voice, with a stellar collection of uptempo country and pop tunes. The title track -- her biggest hit to date (let's face it: ever) -- is great. "Raining" is a great lead-off song. "My Baby Thinks He's a Train" is a great interpretion of the Asleep at the Wheel classic, and "I Wonder" and "I Can't Resist" show her at her soulful best. If you're trying to find a good place to start with RC, start hear. And while you're at, say a little prayer that she returns to this kind of music......."
I'd give it 10 if I could...

"One of the ten best country albums of all time - period. Ground breaking, and how I wish Rosanne would have kept on with this kind of music...Alas, her first two are going to stay her best two from the looks of things..."
