ZOMORODI: So, Rosanne, I have to imagine that as the daughter of Johnny Cash, there was probably a good amount of music in your life as a child.
Rosanne Cash, hello, and thank you so much for being here. R CASH: (Singing) A stone is not a mountain, but a river runs through me. (SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "A FEATHER'S NOT A BIRD") and we're both recording and ready to go. ZOMORODI: On this episode, we explore the links between memory and music with singer, songwriter and musician Rosanne Cash, who is incredibly cool and funny and punctual. And I don't know what I want until I write about it.
R CASH: I often don't know what I feel or think. It also, she says, helped her accept the scrutiny that came with being the legendary Johnny Cash's daughter and, more recently, confront America's painful past, including her family's own role in that history. ZOMORODI: That creative source has led her to record 15 albums over the past four decades and win four Grammy Awards. And when you touch that, you're touching something of the divine. ROSANNE CASH: There's a mystery and a magic at the center of this process that's really undefinable and unexplainable. And she says it's the force behind her songwriting. Musician Rosanne Cash calls this the rhythm and rhyme of memory. I'm a Manoush Zomorodi.Īnd if you've ever heard a song and instantly been transported back in time, you know the power of music to punctuate an event in your life or distill a moment in history.
