ELDEST daughter of legend Johnny, Rosanne Cash is a cross-genre maven, blurring the lines of country, rock ‘n’ roll, roots, blues, and pop. A 12-time GRAMMY nominee and one-time winner, Cash’s voice, strong and enduring with a bit of a quavering waver underneath, carries her songwriting in an entrancing manner.
A sage storyteller, Cash drives us through the country, summoning an inner strength with lush language.
“A feather’s not a bird/the rain is not the sea/a stone is not a mountain/but a river runs through me,” she decrees on “A Feather’s Not a Bird,” opener of 2013’s The River & The Thread.
Cash can break your heart and build it all back in one evening’s set; don’t miss it.
