Singer/songwriter Rosanne Cash and her musical director husband John Leventhal's exciting show celebrates her highly-acclaimed and Grammy-award winning album, The River and the Thread (2014, Blue Note Records). The album is a collection of original songs that connect and re-connect Rosanne to the American South, and is a Project From the Library of Congress.
Written with her longtime collaborator, producer, guitarist and husband John Leventhal, the album reflects journeys through the Southern states, with stops at William Faulkner's house; Dockery Farms, the plantation where Howlin' Wolf and Charley Patton worked and sang; her father's boyhood home in Dyess, Arkansas; the Sun Records Studio in Memphis; and the Mississippi Delta, with its memories of the birth of the Civil Rights era and the haunting gravesite of the great bluesman Robert Johnson.
The oldest daughter of country music icon Johnny Cash and stepdaughter of June Carter Cash, she holds a lineage rooted in the very beginning of American country music. Over a three-decade career she has responded to this heritage with 15 albums of extraordinary songs that have earned four GRAMMY Awards and nominations for 12 more, the Americana Honors and Awards' Album of the Year Award, and 21 top-40 hits, including 11 No. 1 singles.
