Rosanne Cash - Slim's, San Francisco, CA, 12-15-1990

My favorite Rosanne Cash album is her 1990 album "Interiors." In my opinion, it's a five star album, with deeply personal and emotional lyrics. Yet it was largely overlooked at the time, I think because Cash was a country music star, and the album was more in a singer-songwriter mode that didn't fit the country radio format. But given how much I like that album, and how much I like acoustic music, this concert is a no-brainer for me. It's an acoustic concert supporting the album.

This is an excellent sounding soundboard bootleg. Cash naturally played most of the songs from "Interiors," as well as hits from her earlier country star phase. One interesting twist is that she played the unreleased song "Road Widow." It probably was unreleased because it was so harsh about her husband at the time, country star Rodney Crowell. But then immediately after the song was over, Crowell came out on stage and sang some songs with her! She even complimented him for being a good sport in taking the criticism. However, it seems their problems couldn't be fixed, because they divorced in 1992.

This album is an hour and eight minutes long.

  1. Rosanne Cash is one of several good singer/songwriters who are unfairly underappreciated because they fall in the gap between country and foilk/rock. Mary Chapin Carpenter is another example.
