简介: Despite its title,10 Song Demo isn't really a demo tape,but it is what the title suggests--a stripped-down,direct collection of songs,Conceptually,it is a brilliant way to signal that Rosanne Cash has severed ties with Nashville,as well as begun her contract with Capitol Records.However, the album doesn't completely work.Essentially,10 Song Demo is an official statement from Cash that she is no longer strictly a country singer,but an all-around singer/songwriter.Of course,she has always bent the rules of country music,so this isn't a big departure as far as songwriting goes.Musically,however,the spare,simple arrangements lack all of the country and pop production flourishes that marked her last two albums.Though it initially sounds fine,there isn't much variation to the music, and her melodies are frequently uncompelling.
