The Wheel (Rosanne Cash album)

The Wheel is the eighth studio album by singer-songwriter Rosanne Cash. Most of the songs on the album reflected Cash's feelings on embarking on a new relationship (with music producer John Leventhal, whom she would eventually marry) after the dissolution of her marriage to Rodney Crowell. Though neither of its two singles, "The Wheel" and "You Won't Let Me In", charted on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, the album received considerable critical acclaim. A video was produced for "The Wheel".
