"Seven Year Ache" was Rosanne Cash's second major label album. Released in 1981 and was very much in the same vein that Emmylou Harris's albums had been from. No surprise since Rodney Crowell who had been a member of Emmy's Hot Band was now working with Rosanne. The album spawned three #1 country hits, the title track, "My Baby Thinks He's A Train" and the incredible "Blue Moon With Heartache". Much like Emmylou Harris's albums from the late 70's, there isn't a weak track on the album. Emmylou even shows up singing harmony on the album. Vince Gill and Ricky Scaggs also provide backing vocals. One of the tracks, "Hometown Blues" was written by Tom Petty, Rosanne was probably the first country artist to cover a Petty song. Incidently the track sounds somewhat similar to Petty's "Thing About You" which appeared on his "Hard Promises" album from the same year. Overall this is a great album, one that has been out of print or very hard to find for some time now. Do yourself a favor and pick this one up. Today's country artists could learn a thing or two from this album! By the way, the two bonus tracks are "The Feeling" which is listed as previously unreleased, but Rosanne's 1982 single "Ain't No Money" was backed by a song called "The Feeling" it's probably the same song. The other bonus track is a 1990's live version of "Seven Year Ache". Classic!!
