From The New York Times ---
In the somber title song of an album that’s due Nov. 2, Rosanne Cash sings about an archetypal woman who has survived a deep, unnamed trauma; the long-planned release turned out uncannily close to today’s news cycle. Ms. Cash ponders, “Before it all went dark/Was she like a streak of fire, a pane of glass, a beating heart?” The woman faces “the third degree,” while the chorus notes that “she remembers everything.” But as the song’s descending minor piano chords create an undertow hinting at Bob Dylan's “Ballad of a Thin Man,” there's no promise of resolution or justice.
