CD SHOWCASE MEMORIES

Spinning the records…
…& turning the tables on automotive photos!

As I eluded to last week, this theme is headed in a different direction, musically. Instead of same name songs, I’m featuring tunes from actual vinyl records-albums I own. I have ~30 such albums, so, this will take a few weeks, going alphabetically. Along the way, I plan to spin some songs you may not have heard, along with known hits. To get the party started, we turn to Rosanne Cash’s ‘King’s Record Shop’ album & a pair of tunes: “Rosie Strike Back” (Side A) & “Tennessee Flat Top Box” (Side B). But 1st, this week’s featured interior: Lincoln stretch limo, a TX Junkyard Jewel.

ALBUM:
‘King’s Record Shop’
ARTIST:
Rosanne Cash
For more about Cash’s hits & history, see the 07/27/2016 “Wednesday Wrap” entry via THIS LINK HERE. Released in 1987 (I bought it 12/27/1987) & named after the Louisville KY shop of the same name [owned by Pee Wee King’s younger brother, Gene], this was Cash’s 6th studio album. It produced 4 chart toppers: “The Way We Make A Broken Heart”, “If You Change Your Mind”, “Tennessee Flat Top Box” & “Runaway Train”.

FEATURE SONG #1:
“Rosie Strike Back”
To my knowledge, this was never released as a single. However, it is 1 of my favorites from the album. I think it has a powerful message:

FEATURE SONG #2:
“Tennessee Flat Top Box”
Originally written, recorded, performed & charted by Johnny Cash (Rosanne’s Dad), this song (the name of which refers to a steel stringed acoustic guitar) peaked in late 1961 at #11 on the country charts & #84 on the Billboard Hot 100. Then, Rosanne recorded it for this album at the suggestion of then-husband Rodney Crowell. Released 11/14/1987 as the album’s 3rd single, this tune climbed & claimed #1 on the country charts in early 1988.
