ROCK / PEOPLE In 2009, the "list" interpreted Rosanne Cash Twelve of the hundred country songs that she had once received as a kind of undergraduate education from dad Johnny.

The suite, as beautiful as the Grammy Award winner, "The River & the Thread" of 2014, is inspired by stories of the regions where she grew up in Tennessee and Alabama.

When Cash returns to the studio four years later, at least, she puts her roots aside, instead trying to write something about her time and where she is alive today.

Since the 1980s, the 63-year-old has become an intellectual exception in New York on the otherwise conservative American country scene.

After mass shooting at the Las Vegas Country Festival last year, she wrote an article discussing the New York Times on the importance of new weapons laws and the one that followed her. . twitter In recent years, she knows that she does not blink what she likes. Donald Trump.

Country has long been a concept too narrow to call this artist, who likes to move in a perfectly harmonious way between rock, people, soul and gospel.

The fourteenth album will hardly be described as angry protest music. Cash discovers that much of what she hoped to do better now, especially regarding the condition of women, has actually failed to make as many steps forward.

Rocky "8 God of Harlem", with songs from both Kris Kristofferson and Elvis Costello, is a story of happy endless armed violence. And we can probably say that several songs have a fundamental political tone. "Survivor stories" feminine, as its name indicates.

But she does not want to contribute to an even more frightening debate and even greater polarization, so she focuses on hope, on the importance of communication and human relations. Although with a bit of bitterness, not to say dark, the bottom.

With the husband John Leventhal and the producer Tucker Martine (who also did First aid kits "Ruins"), it builds a music that is both curative and neat as well as the lyrics. Colin Meloy of The Decemberists and Sam Phillips make precious guest games.

And almost 40 years after the album's debut, we discover that Rosanne Cash has never made an album following as loud as her last three.

This is at least rare.
