Rules of Travel (2003)

EW's GRADE
A-

Details Release Date: Mar 25, 2003; Lead Performance: Roseanne Cash

Aided by able guests (Sheryl Crow, Steve Earle) and catchy hooks, Cash delivers a CD of beautiful and melancholy folk-pop. Travel, sparely produced by Cash's husband, John Leventhal, journeys to the tender, haunted heart of love and mortality. And when daughter and ailing pop Johnny sing ''When the shadows lengthen and burn away the past/They will fly me like an angel to a place where I can rest,'' their bond, and pain, is palpable.
