If we haven't heard from Rosanne for a while, there's a pretty good reason -- vocal polyps robbed her of her voice for nearly three years.

She breaks that long silence with Rules of Travel, her ninth effort and one of her best. While many performers would have made up for a seven-year gap between albums by bombarding the listener with sound and fury, Rosanne offers these 11 delicate, thoughtful, mature beauties in under 40 minutes -- just enough time to fall in love with her all over again.
