It seems the public is wondering about a list of songs that Johnny Cash considered to be essential to better understand country music.
 
“People ask me about that all the time,” said Roseanne Cash, daughter of Johnny Cash.
 
Roseanne Cash’s latest album, “The List,” is a compilation of 14 of those songs written by her father and found success upon its release, climbing to No. 5 on the sales chart.
 
She said the time may not be right to release a follow up album.
 
“I’m not ready to,” she told TheBoot.com.  “So much of my dad has been co-opted by the public and this was such a personal thing to me and I’m just not ready to post it on the internet or something.  I want to hang on to it for a little while.”
 
Cash said that perhaps one day the entire list will be made available.
 
“Eventually it should be archived properly, but right now it’s mine,” she said.
