Live Shots: Roseanne Cash and John Leventhal work their way through “The List”

Roaring back to stage after years of absence, the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter is honoring her dad's most-treasured country hits.

The first night of married couple Roseanne Cash and John Leventhal’s four-day run at SFJAZZ (through Sun/27, tickets still available) mostly explored her vaunted family legacy. Cash shone while gave us songs from “The List,” the 100-track rundown of the most essential sounds in country music history, as assessed by her knowledgeable dad, Johnny Cash. There were a few surprises though—including her delivery of two Dylan songs.

But perhaps fans were most thrilled simply to be in the onstage company of one of the best songwriters in the game. Cash and Leventhal are shaking off the dust after two years in which they largely didn’t set foot on a stage. This run at SFJAZZ isn’t their first gig after the thick of COVID, but you can tell that with this short residency, they’re shaking off our collective rust.
