Rosanne Cash - Tennessee Flat Top Box (Official Video) 

The story behind this song is amazing. Johnny Cash wrote and recorded it. He released it in 1961 when Roseanne was about six. It was a modest success for Johnny, reaching #11 on the country charts. 26 years later Roseanne's husband singer and songwriter Rodney Crowell encouraged Roseanne to record "Tennessee Flat Top Box". She was unaware that it had been written by her Dad. She would be pleasantly surprised. It hit #1. It is reported that Johnny could not have prouder and considered this "one of his greatest fulfillments". Side note - The charming guitar work was done by Randy Scruggs, the son of bluegrass legend Earl Scruggs.

Rosanne your dad would be proud of you . You have a amazing Voice

Nobody can do the music like Johnny and Luther, but Roseanne really does a fabulous job on the vocals.

Rosanne Cash is criminally underrated as a vocalist. This song is smooth as silk.👍👍

No one, including her Dad, did a better job with this song.

Wow, what a tribute to her dad. I didn't think anyone could sing this better than the Man in Black himself. Fabulous!

Rosanne has such a great voice. 🎶💖

I don't care what year it is this song never gets old.

Every song on her "King's Record Shop" album is a winner. One of the greatest country/pop recordings of all.

Her voice is so clean and pure .Class all the way....

I’ve heard this song most of my life, but I never knew much about the artist other than being Johnny Cash’s daughter.Roseanne is as beautiful as she is talented.What a package!

Absolutely brilliant, a great voice 😀

Came across this song back in 2012, while working for USAirways @ RDU airport. I transferred to RDU after US outsourced our jobs in NH. At the very same time, I was going through a divorce.....had two young kids, and was commuting every week. Needless to say it was tough, and depressing, but somehow, this song got me through a lot of the pain. Thank you Roseanne.

Just love this song. Takes me back to being a young boy in Tennessee and being at a get-together where everyone who could play would bring out their instruments and just tune in and everyone would be dancing and singing, having a good ol' time. My favorite uncle could play the banjo like nobody's business! I could just sit for hours listening to him play. He's been gone now for nearly 15 years and that wonderful talent died with him. What I wouldn't do just to go back for one fall day, chill in the air, fresh apple cider, big bonfire going and everyone just jamming along...I hate growing old. 😞

Just completely unreal in every way possible, to have the daughter of the very great Johnny Cash to sing such a beautiful song ,I'm so very impressed by her voice, she brings her late father's music back to life once again, wow I always loved your late father's songs for many years , now you have revived his music in your own way ❤❤❤ , I have listened to this song at least 20 times one after another, I just love it so very very much, I'm just a regular person on disability but your song gives myself Abit to try to stand up and dance , it brings so much joy to my day that I cannot express enough just to yourself, I thank you so dearly and kindly from my total body heart and mind , you are just a angel that by your music helps keep my life going forward, all my love ❤❤❤. , Thanks once again, your songs mean so much to people like myself

Beautiful voice love her. One of ,The Best 🎼🎼🎼❤️❤️❤️

Rosanne has a beautiful voice, i love hearing her sing.

I have loved this song ever since I heard it in the 80s. Roseannes voice is like liquid honey, smoothe and resonant.

OMG. This song takes me back to child hood. I listened to it with my mom. More then 40 yrs ago. Wow. Great song

The double snare and that guitar really makes this song. It reminds me of Eric Clapton's "Lay Down Sally" every time and vice versa. Both great songs!

never stopping to listen to this Rosanne version almost daily. Such a wonderful voice

Still Love You Rosanne And Your Daddy, Forever Amen. Hoot.

This song and video shook me to my core. Wiping tears away. Takes me all the way back. Beautiful!

The good ole days of good Nashville music... it is missed very much. It should have been on the CMA awards last night. !

I'm a nanny of a 1yr old baby girl who now walks. I had the Echo speaker system play this & the baby can hardly contain herself, trying to bounce (something she never did before). She just started "stomping, giggling & even screaming with joy, yet never having seen the video. I didn't think I could love this song anymore but now I do. It reminds me of my long (40 yr +) lost foster parents Lyle & Earlene from Sunnyvale CA.

Randy Scruggs, RIP, what a guitar player. Roseann wearing out Dad's song. But she had a #1 with it. John took out a whole page ad in the NY Times and said Thank You Daughter. John Cash. Nuff said.

I love it!! She has a great voice!

I remember hearing this many times when I was about 6 or 7 years old, riding with my Dad in his truck. Country music genre on radio usually just wasn't what I preferred at that time, but I sure loved this song, still do & always will. I've always found it so beautiful, very fun and fascinating riffs And Roseanne Cash herself is very pretty and lovely too, but... OMG she does look JUST LIKE her Dad!!!

This is with out a doubt the best version of this love rosannes music her dad would be proud of her

A much simpler time. Absolutely beautiful.

One of the better recorded songs I've heard on RU-vid.

This song is awesome. I've loved it sense the first time I heard it at 5yo. Her voice is beautiful and distinctive. I loved her super curly black hair and thought she was so pretty. With her coolness, she impressed 5yo me. This is one of those songs that feel important. It feels like it's always been. It's hard to explain.

What a talent she is ! John´ s girl. RIP JRCash /CD

such a beautiful voice ladies and gentlemen ..rosanne cash . i never get tired of listening to her sing . rosanne if your watching ...us fans love you and god bless !!!!

I love her voice. I think way she sang her dad's song would make her dad proud

Sweet voice for such a CLASSIC!!! A+ ♥️

Looks like her Dad, and loved her dressed in black. That voice of a angel I love to hear. I post this to Facebook every time I play it. I love sharing good music from such talented singers!

Rosanne is totally underrated! She has so much damn talent.

So beautiful Roseanne thanks 🌹🇦🇺

The language of music is universal, especially beautiful, let beautiful country music unite us...Unforgettable Rosanne Cash..

She has he Dad's ability to tell a story in a song . Love her voice!

She has her Dad's talent for singing a story song! Love this!

Love Roseanne's version. She kept her dad's signature drum-brush-percussion. Roseanne Cash is very talented, and her father Johnny is country-music royalty.

I love the way she sings this song. What a beautiful voice! This has been one of my favorite songs since I was a little kid & that was over 4 decades ago.

I can listen and watch this over and over. Love the dancing and guitar playing!!

This song will never go out of style. Still amazing 6 years later...

This is a master piece that can never be forgotten. I love you Rosanne Cash

Holy Cow, I've listened to this song dozens of times and have failed to post a comment. My bad. Anyway, I love this Americana type song (i'm French Canadian), so I love a "flair" of Cajun in music. Some their, I hear. I also love the footage. My fave is the little "southpaw Boy", strummin' along at about 56 seconds. All the rest of the song and footage is great. Thanks for listening.

beautiful lady with a beautiful voice

Absolutely love this track & Roxanne Cash is an amazing singer!!

This was a semi-autobiographical hit for her daddy, Johnny,in the early '60"s. I have loved it since then.

Just beautiful, God gifted, beauty, talent, keep performing, we love you Rosanne!

Loved listening to Johnny, but his daughter's version I like better! God bless them both!

THIS MUSIC IS THE BEST OF THE BEST BY FAR ,I'M ABOUT TO BE 78 IN NOV. 5TH.AND REMEMBER LAYING IN THE FLOOR AS A KID,AND MY MOM WAS LISTENING TO MUSIC ON A BIG RADIO THAT HAD A BIG RED EYE LIGHT ON IT, AND IT FLIKERED LIKE SOMEONE WATCHING ME, AND I LOVED THE MUSIC ,BUT AFRAID OF THE RED FLIKERING EYE WATCHING ME,COUNTRY MUSIC ROCK'S❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.

Honestly, a brilliant cover. Amazing track!

I just love her version of this song. Its one of those songs that puts you in a good mood for a while. Always find myself tapping my feet and singing along...😄

This "black and white" type video was recorded in my hometown, and the elderly woman eating popcorn at 1:20 is my great-grandmother :)

OH MY GOODNESS!! I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SONG!!- FOR SO LONG!! MY WORD! And then my husband was in RU-vid playing Johnny Cash songs and this one came on and I was like “ WHAAAAT!!” I was so happy!! My how she resembles her daddy!.. and then singing too like him, just remarkable! 👍🏼👍🏼

It's 2023 and some songs never get old, no matter how much time passes....

This song takes me back to another phase of my life. And it always makes me smile.

Roseanne u rock gal love your music

I love this song. She has a beautiful voice. This song could never get old....

I Love ❤ This song , Makes you want to dance & Sing . 😊

this is the first time ive heard her, wow what a fantastic voice,

A beautiful crystal clear and clean voice by Roseanne

Just never gets old! Just love it

Telling a story is what a song should be about. It’s no mystery too any good musician who know’s how to lay it out there to be heard. 👍👍

She nailed this song! Love it!

Very beautiful ! Silky smooth voice ! Easy to listen to ! Johnny would be proud !

That's talent! Her Eyes remind of some old books that used to describe some beautiful women as having, "flashing eyes"-lol. She was gorgeous and her voice is just so smooth. Those Cash folks seem to know all about RHYTHM!

Beautiful voice , keep singing ! God bless

Way to GO Rosanne, you are great, with a great voice!

RIP Randy Scruggs, an outstanding musician. His guitar work on this song is AMAZING!

I think she does this song better than her dad and that's saying alot.

What a great voice. And I especially loved the video. Genuine country folks enjoying great music. Just doesn't get any better!

So beautiful and a voice to sing a song like "ROSEANNE CASH" only can !

J'aime tout particulièrement la vidéo avec une mention spéciale pour la photographie. L'automne Rosanne.

Amazing. Beautifully done. One of my favorites!

I've grown to LOVE this woman! (My assumptions only!---> )When I 1st saw her on T.V. doing 'The 7 Year Itch'; I thought of her as shy and just somewhat attractive. When I saw her at a Tribute to her father's life; I was FLOORED! She was Gorgeous and spoke so well; she made 'Mayo Angelo' look shy! Then, she sang this! She brought down the house!!

Love this, reminds me of Mom when she played guitar! She's been gone 25 years and still miss her so much! The older I get more I sound just like her! Not a bad thing!

This song is so addicting-what a voice. Echoes of Doris Day in the clean quality of a voice you can’t get out of your head. Thanks Johnny for writing and letting your daughter sing it.

I love how Rosanne closes her eyes every time she sings "Tennessee Flat-Top Box".

It's fantastic to hear Johnny Cash's daughter Roseanne singing on of her fathers songs. Absolutely love the music that accompanies the song. Wish i could hear more music like this. Listening in 2020 from Yarloop, Southwest of Western Australia.

Not a real country fan but this lady has one of the most incredible voices I've ever heard

Her voice suits this song to perfection.

Fantastic. Still sounds good to this day.

It's impossible to describe how much of a vibe this song is

God what a beautiful Woman !

Daughter Rosanne did a fantastic job covering her Daddy's song.. Good stuff

Love you Rosanne. Unbeatable vocals and music. Better version than your Dad's.... may he rest in peace.

There are very few songs that take me to the place in time that this one does, and Rosanne does it with such class and elegance. Man I wish there were more songs and artist like this.

So beautiful to see how music brings people together. Great song and video.

Love this lady,such a great voice and her songs hit the spot everytime. I know mom and dad are proud.

Many years ago two of my sisters liked to hitchhike around the states. One time in the late 60s or early 70s they went to see Johnny Cash, I don't remember where. My oldest sister was one of the hitchhikers, I came in the house and my mother said that she had one of her epileptic seizures when she was trying to meet Mr. Cash after the show. I said, is she OK? My mother said yes, Johnny Cash said that she was going to be fine. I said, how do you know that it was Johnny Cash? It was probably a stage hand or something. She looked at me like I was nuts, and said no one sounds like Johnny Cash. I should have known better, my mother was very honest and would never say something that wasn't true. My dad would, but not my mother.

What a cute little song and he voice is as strong as her dad's 🥰

Only Rosanne knows how much Johnny lover her. Inspirational.

When I was young, I played this song so much, I learned it from memory. Your father was a huge influence on my fathers musical development. He is mostly bluegrass now, but he still plays the Cash songs at the jams if asked. Your father's last performance for his late wife, was the most inspiring performance to date. I only watched it recently, but had read of his last hoorah to the public. Thank you for your dedication and the honor you give to your father's legacy.

She has her father’s poetic talent (plus some). Her obit (in Time magazine if I recall) for Tammy Wynette was a masterpiece of the genre.

Love this song Rosanne does it so good, love her voice and she is so pretty

Hey Rosanne ,you sure can put it out there as good as your parents and I love this song !!!!!!
