Roseanne Cash-Runaway Train

Austin City Limits '88

[@DoubleG323]

A great song by one of America's most under-appreciated song writers, the exceptional John Stewart, beautifully performed by Rosanne Cash!

Roseanne and Steuart Smith knocks this song out of the park! Wow!

[@paulkubic786]

One of the most memorable guitar outros in the history of rock! Smith remains an American guitar god, along with Vince Gill, Joe Walsh, James Burton, Paisley, Carlton, all still playing today!!

[@kevinduford5829]

Timeless beautiful, powerful voice !

[@johngialanellajr8650]

Rosanne Cash has such a very nice voice, and I love her looks. Johnny you did well with your daughters. RIP.

[@annieoakley1363]

RIP DADDY 😢his FAVORITE SONG 🎵

[@SoapFan711]

It's amazing how the words come back to you even if you haven't heard a song in more than 20 years. Forgot how great this song was.

[@kerrysmith2332]

Roseanne is an American treasure. And Steuart too!

[@D1it4FN]

Great guitar and I love Roseanne's voice.

[@deangodin6091]

Me, too.

[@gaylelund9287]

never been a fan of country. this is something in between only a few can do. what a talent!

[@vetvetdoug]

John Stewart who wrote this song was a member of the Kingston Trio....they were presented with the first ever Grammy for a Country and Western Song in 1958, something the traditionalists would like to erase.

[@jeremylafary401]

Damn good guitar playing there. I could listen to old country music even without the words, just instrumental were amazingly better sounding back then. Thank God for recordings to be able to hear these songs again and again.

[@keggers101]

Jeremy Lafary that's Steuart Smith who also played with Rodney Crowell, later went on to join the Eagles and now playing with Don Henley

[@bijibadness]

it's funny, we bemoan the use of technology like autotune and digital voice processing, but it's only through technology that we can listen to any music at all. technology and music have always gone hand in hand. back in 1988, people were probably bitching about SOMETHING.

[@roscoefoofoo]

Ugly pants on the drummer, for starters! Great tune...thanks for posting this.

[@virnan]

I'll take Blake Shelton and Keith Urban over the drug addicted, hard living old country artists like Waylon, Willie and all those old sinners. Heck, they never wore sequins, rhinestones or even hairspray in their hair!

[@briankelly5432]

Jeremy Lafary Great guitarist

[@nitwitt50]

Runaway train and 7 yr ache, love these songs. And her voice is perfect for both❤❤

[@ckbennetttn]

I had saved this on VHS all those years ago. King's Record Shop had received the Grammy for Country album of the year. Steuart Smith is great on this song and was on the whole set. Great tune. One of those songs that really gets to me

[@corydestein3160]

I believe it was nominated, but lost to K.T. Oslin’s 80s Ladies

[@heyRolleen]

I listened to this today and the intro gave me chills and flung me back to a time in my past, and for a minute i seriously considered ripping off this 20 year old band-aid, walking out the door and catch a greyhound goin' south

[@briankelly5432]

Brittannia Moon I'm with ya but slow down These brakes. ! Lol

[@daf827]

God, I love her! Great song, soulful performance. Steuart Smith's picking is sublime. Tempo seems a tad fast compared to the record.

[@davidfowler7040]

This is my fravorite song of hers.

[@rodneybass8353]

I like this song and video alot thank you

[@reister828]

Great guitar in that one.

[@geoffreyheald5690]

had this on my mind all afternoon. great song.

[@smasica]

What a voice. And no AutoTune!

[@fancifulfilly]

If you look on UA-cam, you can also find Rosanne singing a cover of her Dad's song "I Still Miss Someone" that not only is an ideal showcase for her beautiful vocals, it will bring a tear (or 10) to your eyes, Tremolux.

[@3117ss]

sweet guitar work...thanks for posting

[@23rbarrett]

Always liked Roseanne's music, but this show made me a big fan. Best band I've seen her with, best version of this song I've heard. I've worn out my VCR tape, thanks for putting this up!

[@SueLovesTrains]

Love ❤️ Roseanne !!!

[@johngialanellajr8650]

Never really listened to her, but now after hearing sing many songs, I am a huge fan.

[@richlandwoman]

Thanks! This was one of my favorite episodes of ACL.

[@tedgurecki7657]

❤ love it !!

[@ArnoldChartrand]

this is top of the line!

[@barbaramooney6575]

The late great John Stewart wrote this. Roseanne is simply amazing!

[@daviddriggers8516]

Rosanne Cash rocks!

[@thomasmcginty2411]

Oh yeah!

[@cityzen2717]

Roseanne has SOUL!

[@cyn7635]

Yes she does and a spirit no one is allowed to break shatter or destroy ever again ...

[@codym8897]

From Austin City Limits Season 13, Episode 7: Rosanne Cash/Desert Rose Band (1988).

[@marionheyenga5266]

Awesome 💕💕💕👍👍👍👌👌👌

[@WT9999Z]

Such a great voice. ❤

[@DanishNerdess]

Am I the only one following Roseanne on Twitter? She's hilarious! Not to mention incredibly talented.

[@maryannbrunner9087]

Awesome song. First heard it in Atlantic City performed by Culture Club. They rocked it. Wish I could find it at karaoke.

[@briankelly5432]

Mary Ann Brunner That woulda been awesome. Love to hear that

[@williamlipsett5772]

Love this style , she's got a great gift to get her version so attractive

[@gordonnewton3511]

Stunning!!! OMG!!! :)

[@deploribusrex4480]

The curves around midnight aren't easy to see. Roseanne Cash is a genius.

[@HeartoftheDragonColo]

Songwriter: John Stewart (Kingston Trio). Roseanne did it very well.

[@broe6570]

This should have been the official video !love it!

[@markhayes4793]

🎶 Blind boys and gamblers, they invented the blues 🎶

[@susan7627]

So right for these days🥂🔥🌎🌈

[@jamesjohnklipper536]

I'm sure her Dad was very proud of her.

[@alienhuman]

Guitarist Steurart was good enough to replace Don Felder in the Eagles. That is saying something.

[@johnnystone8711]

this song is great!austin city limits in the 80s fuckin' rocked

[@suek1509]

Written by the late genius that was John Stewart...look him up...you won't regret it!

[@ThatBobby1]

Awesome!

[@nickandchrisd7110]

Heard this recently on Sirius XM, went home and found this. Great voice, guitar and drum work. Keith Urban would play the guitar part nowadays with his work.

[@hoteljason]

Wow, Steuart blew the lid off at the end! I get so tickled at the bias against Steuart by so many on Eagles videos ('cause Felder did get a bad deal); but watch this video and tell me Steuart Smith is not a very talented guitarist with great taste.

[@walruswasrob]

hoteljason I was wondering if that was Stuart Smith. Yes, he is a brilliant player and I say that as a huge Eagles fan who loves both Bernie Leadon's and Don Felder's work in that band.

[@briankelly5432]

hoteljason absolutely no question. Check out Pete Anderson : early yoakam They are both great and kinda have same style

[@paulkubic786]

Bernie and Don, wonderful! Smith, very modest, is in a different league! Hope you have seen him early on, with Cash, Colvin, and others! Always more than impressive!

[@tedgurecki7778]

all our lives are runaway trains..

[@Miamimart]

Steuart Smith

[@paulkubic786]

Any genre, Smith, Walsh, Gill, Urban, Osborne, and others! He is a complete guitarist!

[@wildtroutbum]

where have I been...I heard this song for the first time last night...covered terribly I might add...

[@daviddriggers8516]

is it just me or is this song simular chariots of fire?

[@mariecoutinho8364]

Rail Malo

[@AustinRogers1]

The album version is slower than this and much more potent.

[@bumperroan8211]

Does anyone know who is playing lead guitar? Very good, some really slick slide work at the end. Roseanne is amazing too.

[@jayritchie851]

The amazing Steuart Smith..played with Rodney Crowell...and also worked with the Eagles and with Don Henley during his solo stint.

[@diegoromerohernandez5719]

Dios los bendiga

[@lorenjohnson7488]

who is the drummer ? he is very good

[@brentm.5665]

Vince Santro

Great song, great singer (Rosanne is fantastic), and great guitar. Who is he? Does any body know?

Albert Lee and hogans heroes do a great version of this song.

[@3117ss]

who is the guitarist?

[@ardalla535]

Can't think of anyone offhand who could have done a better job with this song. Juice Newton? Patty Loveless?

[@corydestein3160]

I can hear Trisha Yearwood singing this. She did fantastic when she covered “Seven Year Ache”. This song however was made for Rosanne’s voice. It’s absolutely perfect.

[@DarthDainese]

looks like it's playing on an old VCR

[@24321619]

Yes the tracking flicker along the bottom says that

[@virnan]

Damn, Roseanne has to be at least 5' 4". She is a tall lady!

[@-306-]

100th comment

[@lorenjohnson7488]

So who is the drummer ? anybody

[@lorenjohnson7488]

Overlooked and under rated performance ,

[@rastarockopera]

Loren Johnson The drummer is Vince Santoro, who worked with Steuart Smith in a group called "Babe" early in their careers and with Roseanne and, even more, with her ex Rodney Crowell (and Smith), on albums from the late 80's on. If you want to see Santoro looking a bit different, lsee him with Crowell and Smith on "Let Freedom Ring" or with Crowell on "Telephone Road," both in UA-cam.

[@lorenjohnson7488]

Thank you very much

[@steveangers1588]

Great song, great singer. But this version, is playing too fast.

[@peterbaskind9872]

Great song. And it’s interesting that she got a hit with a song without a hook.

[@markstanley565]

I told John at the kitchen table. It’s a hit. I never liked her voice

[@virnan]

Too fast temp damn it!

[@LinkRocks]

It's the live version, it's generally faster than the studio version.

[@G.7.1.1]

"O" is for OBAMA! :-)

[@Badmom1956]

Steuart Smith!!
