To my listening, Rosanne has only made good music for the last 20 years. There has been a distinct evolution to her music. Her earlier music had more of a "new" country feel to it. This would best be characterized by her albums "Right or Wrong;" "Rhythm and Romance;" and "Somewhere in the Stars." By the time that you get to "King's Record Shop," Rosanne's intensely personal songwriting is as prominent as her voice. Her releases in the last decade ("The Wheel;" "10 Song Demo") show Roasanne as a very accomplished singer songwriter and her music is a mix of country/pop/folk/female vocal.
Her voice has an appealling fullness to it (sometimes referred to as a "down in the wine" voice). "Rules of Travel," her latest album, is one of the best albums released this year, but it will require several listens before one comes to that conclusion ... at least that was the point I was making to the woman who runs the Americana music section at Tower Records in NYC.
Her entire catalog is worth owning. Good Listening. Rich
