Johnny Cash’s Top 100 Essential Country Songs
When Rosanne was young her father, Johnny Cash, was unsatisfied with
the direction her music was going in and gave her his 100 Essential Country
Songs” She’s grown to love these songs, which are heavily influenced by
Original Carter Family songs. She’s working on her latest project “The List”
which is slated to drop October 6th. It is heavily influenced by the list her
father gave to her. Rosanne states in her press release:
“The songs were culled from a List of “100 Essential Country Songs”
that my dad made for me when I was 18 years old. It could have easily
been called “100 Essential AMERICAN Songs”, as the list covered every
critical juncture in Roots music, from early Folk songs, protest songs,
history songs, Appalachian, Southern blues and Delta bottomland songs,
to Gospel and modern Country music”.
