Artist:Rosanne Cash
Song:This Is The Way We Mend A Broken Heart
Album:King's Record Shop
Of course Rosanne Cash is best known as the daughter of the legendary Johnny Cash. But in the 80s she emerged from his shadow as one of the most formidable singer songwriters of her generation. She's had some health issues recently but is currently recovering. She was born May 24, 1955 in Memphis. She was raised by her mother in Southern California and joined her dad's group after graduating high school. She signed with Columbia Records in 1978 and started working with singer songwriter Rodney Crowell. They married in 1979. Rosanne's big breakthrough was the 1981 album Seven Year Ache which crossed over from country to the pop charts. She continued to top the country charts for several years and won a Grammy for the 1986 hit I Don't Know Why You Don't Want Me. This was also true of the 1987 album King's Record Shop. This wonderful version of John Hiatt's This Is The Way We Mend A Broken Heart was another #1 country hit. It's a classic album and Columbia rereleased it in 2005 with some bonus tracks. Rosanne's marriage to Rodney Crowell ended in 1991. She took a few years off, moved to Capitol Records and married producer John Levanthal. He's probably best known for his work with singer songwriter Shawn Colvin. Her most recent CD Black Cadillac was released in 2006. In recent years Rosanne has lost both her parents and her stepmom. She also underwent brain surgery in Nov. 2007 and is expected to make a full recovery. I expect more great music from Rosanne Cash in the future. Here's the video for This Is The Way We Mend A Broken Heart by Rosanne Cash.
