Audiophiles talk about lifting the veils to get closer to the image of the source experience. This is not an "audiophile" album (thankfully), but the emotional veils have been peeled away to reveal an artist with no artifice. I go to over 50 pure acoustic concerts a year to eliminate the audio veils completely - no wires, mics or speakers. Even in the refined world of authentic 18th Century musical performances and minimalist recordings, the results are emotionally distant compared to this living room recording. It does not sound like Rosanne Cash is in my living room, but it feels more like human presence than nearly any other recording in history. Credit the producer with refusing to dilute this large dose of reality with even Nashville's best as usually accompany Ms. Cash. Are the songs better than other first rate albums? Can't say. I can say I hear the intent more intensely and that it is a more moving experience. I have over 5,000 recordings so I rarely repeat - this is one of the ones I listen to over and over, one I would grab escaping to a desert island or evacuating a flood. This is one I buy for other people of varying taste. This is the antidote to POP, the formerly unrealized promise of "unplugged". This is the tribal circle where the storyteller unites all in the shared extended moment, where myth and sacrament reveal TRUTH. Bravi!Read full review
Anyone mildly passing by this seemingly unobtrusive piece of music needs to stop. Looking closely first reveals the mysteriously odd title. Ten Song Demo doesn't have ten songs, it has eleven. ???????? As in most aspects of life, greatness evolves from simplicity and lies hidden from the masses. This disk is proof. Rosanne's approach using only guitar and voice results in hautingly deep and heart touching vocals. Trust me, there is something magical about this piece of work. Listen, then share it with someone.
very good vocal recording
