    She Remembers Everything is a challenging and rewarding set from an artist who is at the peak of her abilities, and if anyone needs to be reminded that Rosanne Cash is one of America's best and smartest songwriters, all they need to do is spend some time with these songs.

    She remains hard to categorize, refracting country alongside rock, folk, and other elements befitting a longtime resident of New York City’s melting pot. And her most beautiful work can lean into the abstract.

    The 13 songs, mostly slow to midtempo with some very fine lyrics, sound pensive and personal. [Jan 2018, p.86]

    Though Cash refrains from direct political speech on this record, she offers solace amid the political unrest, choosing to focus on personal connection rather than polarization as we near the end of a chaotic, divisive year.

    She Remembers Everything is a collection of miniatures that collectively paint a vivid, haunting portrait of the blessings and bruises of life.

    Her first album in four years, the singer navigates the uncertainty of today. It toggles between stark reality and more abstract images, sometimes blending them in ways enhanced by the production.

    Too often the music from both sessions provides little more than gauzy atmosphere, lacking the drive and purpose of previous albums. But Cash is a deft singer and evocative songwriter. [Nov 2018, p.25]

One of my favorite songwriters, with a subtlety that makes the music grow better with time and experience. I could not draw myself away from it till about the third time through, when I forced myself away to other music. The production and musicianship are great also, but the lyrics just hook me. Expand
