Rosanne Cash Reveals Some Of "The List"

Ok, this is just a bitchin' story.

Rosanne Cash just came out with an album called The List and it means a whole lot more than just an album of music, according to The Associated Press.

In 1973, The Associated Press says that Rosanne Cash "was 18, just graduated from high school, a daughter of divorce eager to spend time with her dad and learn the family business. She tagged along on a concert tour and talked music during the long bus rides. When Johnny Cash grew alarmed at the songs Rosanne didn't know, he sat down with a pad and pen. What he produced was a syllabus worthy of a master professor: Johnny Cash's list of the '100 Essential Country Songs.'"

So, obviously, when music-lovers heard the rumors of this list, it might as well have been some goddamn fabled city of gold or two unicorns fornicating on the entrance steps of Atlantis. I mean, shit, to music elitests, this is like finding Jimmy Hoffa's body in the Garden of Eden which just happens to be what is now Disneyland.

Rosanne Cash was asked, interrogated and harassed after every show of her tours to release the contents of the list. Even her husband told for the last 17 years that she should rerecord some of the songs, which she finally did with this album. However, there's still 80+ songs more to be revealed. She's already been offered an ass-load of money to reveal the rest.

But she won't.

"I like having it as my own," says Rosanne Cash. "It's like a martial arts secret."
