Tracklist

"It's an album we'll be looking at in December when it's time to single out the most powerful works of 2014." — Los Angeles Times

"It’s a record that her late father would have been enormously proud of, and the first essential country album of 2014." — Record Collector

2014 album from the acclaimed country/folk singer, songwriter and daughter of the late Johnny Cash. Following the critical and sales triumph of 2009's The List, Cash returns with The River & The Thread, which represents the culmination of an amazing career. The album, created with her longtime collaborator and husband, John Leventhal, richly evokes the Southern landscape and examines the indelible impressions it has made on our own collective culture and on Cash herself.

"I went back to where I was born, and these songs started arriving in me," says Rosanne. "All these things happened that made me feel a deeper connection to the South than I ever had. We started finding these great stories, and the melodies that went with those experiences."

An amazing feat of musical storytelling, The River & The Thread is sweeping in its breadth, capturing a unique, multi-generational cast of characters. Although Cash and Leventhal found inspiration in the many musical styles associated with the South — swampy Delta Blues, Gospel, Appalachian Folk, Country and Rock, to name a few — this is a completely contemporary collection. Guest musicians appearing on the LP include young guns like John Paul White (The Civil Wars) and Derek Trucks to such legends as John Prine and Tony Joe White.

Cash's last two albums, Black Cadillac (2006) and The List (2009), were both nominated for Grammy Awards; The List — an exploration of essential songs as selected and given to Rosanne by her father, Johnny Cash — was also named Album of the Year by the Americana Music Association.
