Music Monday...Lucinda and Rosanne

Normally, I go into great detail when writing about music.
Not because of lack of respect or love of the music, bit for time; today I won't go into great detail on 2 singers, but will let you look and hopefully listen for your self.

Two of the most influential women in music - in my opinion - today are Lucinda Williams and Rosanne Cash.
Most of you have heard of Cash and may or may not have heard of Williams.

Rosanne Cash, to me, has always been in the shadows of her father's name. This is both a pro and a con. She can stand on her own music when it comes to this.
I was exited when my wife told me about a Rosanne Cash record called The List. Cash basically honors her dad and the artist whose songs she covers on this record. Johnny Cash would sing these songs (and many more) to her. This record is great. We listened to it on Saturday and I had to down load it and order it. IT is that good.
Check out these links on this record and on Rosanne Cash herself.

Lucinda Williams is an incredible singer. She is one of the last "folk-rock-country rebels".
Her music has been covered by other artists (that is always a positive testament) and she continues to produce high quality tunes. She was born in Lake Charles, LA and has many songs about towns in Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.
Many singers and bands credit Lucinda as being one of their influences.
