sandenoMar 5, 2006A wee bit too teenagerish in emotion. But some lovely tunes. Not for people under the age of 40.

sylviomApr 7, 2006Rosanne is good, always does, but in this album, she's just average... with a few good songs and many poor, hushed, boring songs.

HugoChavezOct 26, 2006I 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!

DThompsonJan 29, 2006Life, Love, Death = Great Art! In lesser hands this would have turned into a bad tribute album. Cash is astounding in her lyrics and melody. I hope everyone gets a chance to hear this CD.

madslJan 30, 2006A very strong and coherent album with some fine tunes and lyrics about the deaths of close relatives (well, some very well-known relatives, that is..). Some of the stuff is a bit too MOR and gets a bit boring after few listens. Rosanne Cash has a tendency to sound a bit too adult sometimes which is a criticism in my book anyway..but still: very strong effort overall.

JyotirmayaDJul 22, 2006This album is very personal. Like listening in to Johhny's daughter's bedside chat to herself, confidential but she is bearing it all and it is a beautiful listen. But the phrase "Westward leading, still proceeding?" Where have I heard that before? Some one tell me?

AlfonsoMJan 27, 2006Ms. Cash has made an album that pays tribute to the memory of those she has lost. Its extremely personal and touching. She takes us through the stages of grief one song at a time and its a wonderful journey. A great album.

KathyFJan 31, 2006This is one of the best CD's I've heard in a long time. Anyone who has had to deal with the grief of losing a parent should take this CD to heart. It's a testament of healing through art. Some of the best lyrics I've heard in a long time. Leventhal and Bottrell do an outstanding job of producing the CD and allow the honesty of the lyrics and music speak for themself.

MattFeb 3, 2006Ranks up there with Interiors. Rules of Travel, her previous CD, sounds like a routine Rosanne Cash album compared to Black Cadillac. On Black Cadillac, the melodies are strong while the music is varied and gritty. The music prevents her very poignant lyrics (inspired by the death of her parents) from being drowned in syrup.

scottcJan 31, 2006A long-time fan, even I found this record to be shockingly good. Rosanne's voice has never been so heavy with emotion, and she has never looked this far outside herself in her songs. There is a lot to think about and to feel. Each offering here is a polished gem--a remarkable achievement.

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.
-
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.

Entertainment WeeklyThe best of Cash's nuanced compositions... turns her healing process into great art. [27 Jan 2006, p.84]
