Interiors (Rosanne Cash album)

Not particularly country-sounding, the introspective Interiors was seen by a number of critics and fans as a personal catharsis for Rosanne Cash; shortly after its release, she broke up with husband and longtime producer Rodney Crowell. In a first, Cash produced the album herself, and all of the songs are either written or co-written by Cash. However, the album did not do very well commercially, reaching only #23 on the Billboard charts. Though the album was well received by critics, only minor country singles resulted: "What We Really Want" barely cracked the top forty, reaching #39, and "On the Surface" reached #69.
