I regret to say I’ve never heard any of Rosanne’s music, but I like this song’s clip- maybe I’ll get the album when it comes out.

Ah…Marty Robbins may be even more accurate.

I hear Marty Robbins.

And it’s making me laugh.

I have to say that this is perhaps my least favorite cut from The List, which is just terrific from start to finish. The arrangement is just a little too on-the-nose for my tastes. I think Springsteen's name recognition is what led to "Sea of Heartbreak" having been pinned as the first single, since it has an outside shot at AAA radio airplay. Good pickup on the Roy Orbison vocal turn from Springsteen, Leeann. I couldn't put my finger on exactly who it was his phrasing reminded me of because it's a pretty notable departure for him. I'm hit-or-miss when it comes to Sprinsteen, but I will second the recommendation of We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions.

Here’s the full version on Rhapsody:

I like it, though it’s almost too subdued, especially since the original Don Gibson version has a jaunty beat and the ‘Bom, bom, bom’s of the background singer. A different take on the song, Rosanne and Bruce sound nice together.

Here’s Don’s original:

Another different take on the song That ai like very much is Jimmy Buffet and George Strait’s calypso style version on “License To Chill”.

And here’s Johnny Cash’s version:

I’m on board. I’m excited about this album. I love Rosanne’s tasteful productions this decade. I think Bruce kind of sounds like he’s channeling Roy Orbison a little bit here. His voice is a bit loungier than usual.

Soul Miner’s Daughter, have you ever checked out his Seeger Sessions album? That’s what got me to even give Bruce a chance. Before that, I wasn’t a fan. I still don’t get into his eighties stuff, but I really like his music from this decade.

The clip is very brief, but I’m not sure I like the arrangement very much.
