20 May 2026 - Rosanne Cash - Seven Year Ache

I really miss old time classic pop/country crossover hits.  They don't make songs like that anymore. 

Take "Seven Year Ache". Written by Rosanne Cash and produced by her then-husband Rodney Crowell, this song by Johnny Cash's daughter was a HUGE country hit and a moderate pop hit in 1981. 

It wasn't her last country hit - it's considered to be her breakthrough - but it's her most recognizable today. 


She's never stopped recording the song, either.  Here she is performing the song last year, in a quiet acoustic version at the Country Music Hall of Fame. 


This performance from 1987, however, is more electric and matches the feeling of the original.
