Rosanne Cash appeared at just the right time in the 1980s to be at the vanguard of the progressive country movement, modernizing country convention while eschewing the milky pap that ruled the country charts at the time. THE VERY BEST OF ROSANNE CASH does a fine job of detailing Cash`s journey, from the more traditional end of things (dad Johnny`s "Tennessee Flat Top Box") to classy, pop-tinged tunes ("Seven Year Ache") and moodier, more introspective singer/songwriter fare ("The Wheel," "Seventh Avenue"). Throughout, there`s a bittersweet melancholy that marks Cash`s sound as distinctive no matter what the style, providing a connecting thread throughout this estimable career summary.
