  1. Black Cadillac is darker than its predecessor, but with melodies often more complex and lyrics more stunningly poetic than anything its creator has conjured before, the album is more transforming than depressing, and exquisitely beautiful.
  2. At times, Cash nails the knife-edge of hurt and love so adeptly, you feel like you're intruding on too-personal confessions.
  3. This album is extraordinary. It is brave, difficult, and honest. It is utterly moving and beautiful. Because it so successfully marries all of her strengths as a songwriter, singer, and musician, Black Cadillac may be the crowning achievement of her career thus far.

    I recently had the honor of watching her perform at Carnegie Hall and meeting her afterward. I consider myself a HUGE fan now. Black Cadillac is to me, about journeys of the soul, heart and coming up stronger, wiser and more at peace. She's even greater live - a true artist! Expand

    Rosanne is good, always does, but in this album, she's just average... with a few good songs and many poor, hushed, boring songs.
