1993 studio album by Rosanne Cash
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".
