For a period of about a decade, Rosanne Cash was able to do what a lot of sons and daughters of top tier musicians have failed at: she enjoyed great success for a period of years, gaining respect for her own body of work without having to be classified as a failure because she didn’t live up to daddy. She released a string of commercially (and artistically) successful country albums in the eighties, aided by her producer/husband Rodney Crowell, a handful of nicely written originals, some great choices in cover material, and her own talent. King’s Record Shop is the high point of her career, a breath of fresh air in Nashville, as well as a great pop album. This is a really fine collection of songs, which established her as a force in country music without having her father push her over the top. It still sounds great today…it actually sounds better now than it did in 1987.
King’s Record Shop includes four number one singles…all of them excellent and highlights of the album. John Stewart’s “Runaway Train”, her own “If You Change Your Mind”, John Hiatt’s “The Way We Make A Broken Heart”, and “Tennessee Flat Top Box”, written by her father Johnny Cash. These songs are all top shelf tracks, and worthy of their success. She also scores with “Why Don’t You Quit Leaving Me Alone” by Tom Petty’s keyboardist, Benmont Tench, and the fine and bouncy “Green, Yellow And Red”. This is a well made and relaxed, fun album loaded with great songs and great performances. Nothing groundbreaking here, but this album shows why the team of Cash and Crowell were at the head of the class of women in Nashville in the late eighties. A fine album, always a great listen, and well worth picking up if you can find it. [First added to this chart: 11/02/2024]

By 1985, The Cars were finished. They had just one horrible album left in them, and they were done. But they were a great singles band from 1978 through 1984.This does the job as far as the big hits are concerned, but the later release of Just What I Needed: The Cars Anthology does a much better job. The songs here are all great, but they are placed in random order rather than chronological, and there could be more worthy tracks that just aren't here. "Tonight She Comes" was previously unreleased,and the rest are from the band's first 5 albums. No liner notes and skimpiness make this only okay.
The Cars were a great band for their period. They wrote great songs, and their recordings were expertly done. They were even successful on MTV, despite the goofiness of Ric Ocasek. The recent reunion with Todd Rundgren, though tempting, is not somewhere I really want to go. The Cars should be remembered for what they did in the 70's and 80's. I can't imagine that songs like "Drive" and "Heartbeat City" sound as good played today as they did with the original band. [First added to this chart: 10/12/2024]
