Last night I went to the Twin Cities to see Roseanne Cash in concert. She is one of Johnny Cash's daughters.
It was at a small auditorium on a college campus. So it was nice and intimate. I had a second row seat, but was basically in the front row because the curved towards the end, and I had an end seat. :)
She was promoting her new album, The River and the Thread.
She did two sets. The first was about an hour long and she played the album from beginning to end. It was really good. She talked about each song and how she came to write it. It's all about a trip through the South.
Then they took a break, and then came back out and did a set of previous hits. Thankfully she did sing Seven Year Ache, but sadly she didn't sing I Don't Know Why You Don't Want Me. :(

No "IDKWYDWM"???? That's too bad.I like that one too...

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

She did a really nice version of Ode to Billie Joe though. :) She had talked about seeing the real T' Bridge while she was talking about one of the songs from her new album. :) Then in the second set she say Ode. :)

Bobbie Gentry did an amazing original version, but Roseanne could do it justice as well...

Never heard of her. Glad to hear you had a good evening.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Sadly, I don't think she has ever made it "big". Seven Year Ache and I Don't Know Why were probably her biggest hits back in the 80s.

By the way, how far from the Twin Cities are you? I was thinking you lived in Minneapolis for some reason.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I am about 75+ miles South of the Twin Cities. :)

[changeling72.livejournal.com]

Ah well. Minneapolis, Minnesota - same difference. :o)

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Are you saying, Seen one Minnesota city you seen 'em all? LOL........
Yeah, Stewartville isn't too far North of the Minn/Iowa border. :p

[owlstorm_9]

and....Blue Moon With Heartache, My Baby Thinks He's a Train, Never Be You, Tennessee Flat Top Box, The Wheel, Hold On, The Way We Make a Broken Heart & a few others.....

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Those must not have crossed over to pop charts like the other two.

[owlstorm_9]

If any had, I doubt they would have charted very high. Had to listen to Country radio to hear most of those.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Not sure if I heard her on the radio or not. I remember the videos more than anything. :)
Friday Night Videos on TBS, I think. :p Eventually we got MTV. :p

[peccavo.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a good time!

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

It really was. I enjoy when singers talk about their songs.

[seaivy.livejournal.com]

i've heard her interviewed several times
she is a very interesting person
very level headed (as the saying goes lol can you picture a person with a level head?)

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

LOL.......
I have started to read her autobiography. So far an interesting read. :)

[endlessblush.livejournal.com]

Oh how cool. I grew up listening to Johnny Cash .. my parents loved him.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

He had such a great voice. :)

[endlessblush.livejournal.com]

Sure did

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Roseanne doesn't have that "gruff" quality, but still a really nice voice. :)

[endlessblush.livejournal.com]

WEll she's not a man so I can understand that

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

But some women can really growl. :)
Melissa Etheridge for one. :)

[endlessblush.livejournal.com]

oh yes, you're right

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Ann Wilson can too on the right songs. :)

UGH, I better get to bed. :o

[endlessblush.livejournal.com]

Sleep well

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Thank you.
Not too bad. Back is sore. I think from standing so stiff trying to video record something last night.

[endlessblush.livejournal.com]

What are you recording?

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

They do a light ceremony/program at Crazy Horse Monument. It lasts about 20 minutes or so.

[endlessblush.livejournal.com]

sounds cool

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

It's okay. The sound track that goes with it is better then the show itself. :p

[endlessblush.livejournal.com]

:p

[howlin-wolf-66.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you were mostly happy with the show! :-)

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Other then that song not being sung it really was a great show. :)

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

Her name doesn't ring a bell but the song does somehow.

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

You do know her dad though right? Johnny Cash?

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

Now WHO doesn't know HIM !!

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Well, I would imagine there must be somebody that doesn't know who he is. :o
Of course they have been living under a rock too. :p

CBS 'Sunday Morning" recently did a really nice piece about her and the new music she was working on.

It's about that trip through the south which inspired her..

It was really fun listening to hear go through the album from beginning to end and talk about each song and the meanings/stories behind them. :)

Thanks for sharing the show clip. :) It's cool to see some of the things she talked about. :)
