Rhythm & Romance

Rhythm & Romance was the fifth release and second #1 Billboard country album for Rosanne Cash. Her highest honor came when one of its tracks, "I Don't Know Why You Don't Want Me", won the 1985 Grammy Award for Best Country Vocal Performance by a female artist. That song and "Never Be You" were both #1 Billboard country singles. Two other tracks rose to the #5 spot on the charts: "Hold On" and "Second to No One."
