Accidentally ran into the "List" by listening to "Sea of Heartbreak" duo of Rosanne and Bruce Springsteen. If Rosanne continues to record from the list, this song should be included somehow into her project. I love what she has done with the list so far. Denis has made a great contribution with his song which certanly captured the Americana spirit. A great tribute to Johnny Cash and for his love of music that speak to the heart of America.

I did hope Rosanne might consider recording the song - I have an alternative lyric for her to sing the story, ie from her perspective.

Anyway, thanks for the kind words - hope you will check out my album on CD Baby, at the link above.

What a terrific song telling the true story of the legacy given to Rosanne Cash from her father John.

Couldn't agree more with jtflamingo. It would be a great track on the second volume of The List.

Let's hope that someone with influence gets to hear this.

Great song, and an equally great video. Truly deserves to get out to a wider audience. Hope Rosanne Cash gets to watch this . . . it'd make a great track for a second volume of "The List".

Denis is also the writer of the "Home To The Stars" tribute to the late, great John Stewart . . . which is also here on YouTube. Give it a look, too . . .
