Rosanne Cash - My Secret Life - Non-Album Tracks (1997-2003)

From the start of the 1990s onward, Rosanne Cash's albums have generally been made up of original songs, often with a unifying theme and/or sound. But she's also done a lot of songs which wound up as stray tracks. Most of these are covers.

This album is a case in point. Nearly all the songs here are covers. They are in a wide variety of styles, from different genres, including songs by the Beatles ("Things We Said Today") and Bob Dylan ("License to Kill"), as well as her father Johnny Cash ("I Still Miss Someone"). But they're all united by Cash's excellent vocals and production values.

I think the only song she wrote here is "Seven Year Ache," which was a big hit for her in the early 1980s. I've included it here because it's a very different version, done with Golden Smog. 

This album is 41 minutes long.
