One of the country’s pre-eminent singer-songwriters, Rosanne Cash has released 15 albums of extraordinary songs that have earned four Grammy Awards and 12 additional nominations, as well as 21 Top 40 hits, including 11 chart-topping singles. She Remembers Everything—her latest release—is a poetic, lush, and soulful collection of songs that reckon with a flawed and intricate world.
Born to country legend Johnny Cash, Rosanne joined her father’s tour as a wardrobe assistant and background singer in 1973. After stints in London and Nashville (and a year studying method acting in California), she launched her solo career in 1978. Though often classified as country, her music draws from folk, pop, rock, blues, and Americana. In the 1980s, she had a string of genre-crossing singles, most notably her 1981 breakthrough hit “Seven Year Ache,” which topped the country charts and reached the Top 30 on the pop charts.
Her voice “seems transparent, always natural and confiding, never forced. The nearly un-ornamented way she carries melodies, shading some words with the tiniest quaver, comes across as both pensive and determined, and it lets her find mythic resonances behind everyday details.” Even in sorrow, her songs place sadness alongside love and perseverance. “Particle and Wave,” backed by John Leventhal, measures a lifetime against the laws of physics: “Light is particle and wave,” she sings. “It reveals what we hold dear/and it slows so I can hold you near.”
