Rhythm & Romance was the fifth release and second No. 1 Billboard country album for Rosanne Cash. It was released in May of 1985. Her highest honor came when one of its tracks, "I Don't Know Why You Don't Want Me", won the 1985 Grammy Award for Best Country Vocal Performance by a female artist. That song and "Never Be You" were both No. 1 Billboard country singles. Two other tracks rose to the No. 5 spot on the charts: "Hold On" and "Second to No One."
Although Cash had written at least one composition on each of her previous albums, this is the first of her albums on which she wrote or co-wrote the majority of the tracks.
