Right or Wrong is the second studio album by American country music singer Rosanne Cash.[7][8] It was released in 1980 via Columbia Records.[9][10]

The three highest charting Billboard country tracks were "Couldn't Do Nothin' Right" at #15, "No Memories Hangin' 'Round", a duet with Bobby Bare, at #17, and "Take Me, Take Me" at #25. The album peaked at No. 42 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart.[11]

Critical reception[]

AllMusic wrote that Rodney Crowell and Cash "made the song selections while Rodney called in Emmylou Harris's band (of which he was an alumnus) and some up and comers and created a sonic palette that accented the brave new world of stripped-down mixes and songs that came from the left field of country or pop."[2] Pitchfork wrote that Right or Wrong "kicked off a decade of untouchable albums."[12] Orange Coast praised the "smooth, satisfying vocal performance."[13]
