Rosanne Cash's 'The Wheel' celebrates 30 years

Set List

• "The Wheel"
• "Roses in the Fire"
• "The Truth About You"
• "Change Partners"
• "Seventh Avenue"
• "Wouldn't It Be Loverly"
• "The Sunken Lands"

"Transform" pops up multiple times during today's session. It's telling because while many artists talk about how a new album differs from their previous work, Rosanne Cash was speaking the gospel back in 1993.

She was referring to her seminal, game-changing album, The Wheel. Written in the aftermath of Cash's divorce from Rodney Crowell, the record is a tour de force, lyrically and sonically, featuring appearances from Benmont Tench, Bruce Cockburn, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Catherine Russell, Marc Cohn and Steuart Smith. It also kicked off a longtime partnership with her soon to be personal partner, John Leventhal.

On the eve of it's re-release — one that features a remastered original, a live EP and additional goodies — we're rebroadcasting Cash's session with former World Cafe host Michaela Majoun, recorded 30 years ago. It's a fascinating look into an artist who knew she had something special on her hands. Plus, listen to live performances featuring her now-husband, John Leventhal.
