The circumstances that gave rise to Black Cadillac would test the resolve and talents even of a songwriter as fearless as Cash. Within a two year period, Cash's mother, father and step mother all died. Her mother, Vivian Liberto, the first wife of Johnny Cash, was an intensely private person, and her relationship with Rosanne, her oldest daughter, was extremely close. The album found it's genesis in it's title track, which, according to Cash, "was like a beacon, leading the whole process." Written six weeks before June Carter's death, a point at which no one suspected that she was even ill, the song seemed "foreboding" to Cash. To create a sound appropriate to her powerful subject, Cash worked with two producers: her husband and longtime co-producer and co-writer, John Leventhal (Shawn Colvin, David Crosby), and Bill Bottrell, who has worked with Sheryl Crow, Shelby Lynne and Linda Perry. Capitol. 2006.

Reviews:

Go buy 1990's Interiors, recently reissued along with a pair of late '80s classics and a career-spanning best-of, each also well worth your time. Then check back in with Johnny's all-growed-up daughter, who chose NYC over Nashville long ago but never fully buried her downhome burr beneath her gently urbane lyricism.
