"Sleeping in Paris", from "The Wheel", by the one and only Roseanne Cash.
Most of her "10 Song Demo" release as well.
Simply incredible, beautiful, personal music.
Ghosthouse, the "7 Year Ache" got me started with what was at the time of that single's release, a country crossover artist. Over the years, she has moved away from the open country sound association. For those who may not be as familiar with Rosie, I suggest starting with "10 Song Demo", which is mostly just Roseanne with her guitar, or other nominal accompanyment. Her voice is beautiful, the self penned lyrics come straight from her heart. It's also great headphone music. Warning: her music tends to be on the darker side; it's certainly no less beautiful for that reason...Highly Recommended.
