Somewhere in the Stars followed by one year the wildly successful Seven Year Ache, Rosanne Cash's breakthrough record.
Once again with husband Rodney Crowell in the producer's chair and acting as a full collaborator, Cash pushed the Nash Vegas envelope to the breaking point for the time.
A listen to Shania Twain's Come on Over and Up! will point, in a winding manner, back to Somewhere in the Stars.
Here are guitars ringing through with influences from Dire Straits to Graham Parker & the Rumour.
Give a listen to Susanna Clark's "Oh, Yes I Can," and listen to Albert Lee's Mark Knopfler cop.
Interestingly, Cash, while writing a great deal during this period, only recorded one of her own songs and co-wrote another with Crowell.
The feel has British new wave, country, and L.A.
rock blended into a seamless whole.
Listen to the chug and tug of "Ain't No Money," written by Crowell, that opens the album.
Linda Ronstadt in her prime could have cut this, but only Cash could bring the solid country gutbucket pout in her delivery.
