Rosanne Cash (born May 24, 1955) is an United
States|American Country music|country singer and
songwriter. She is one of the daughters of Johnny
Cash and his first wife, neé Vivian Liberto, born
shortly before the release of her father's first
single. In many ways, her career reflects the
changes in country music since the birth of the
rock and roll era.

Born in 1955 in Memphis, Tennessee|Memphis,
Tennessee, Cash grew up Catholic in southern
California, but moved to Nashville,
Tennessee|Nashville after her high school
graduation. She worked in her father's road show
before setting out on her own. Cash released her
first single, a duet with Bobby Bare, in 1979, and
had her first No. 1, "Seven Year Ache," two years
later. She married Rodney Crowell, who produced
most of her hit records, in 1979. Their stormy
marriage lasted until 1992; its break-up is
chronicled in Cash's Interiors and in Crowell's
album Life Is Messy. Cash later married producer,
John Leventhal, who produced her albums The Wheel
(on which many of the songs were also based on her
relationship with Crowell) and 10 Song Demo.
Though Cash was a prominent country star
throughout the '80s, her music was anything but
traditional: she topped the charts with songs
written not only by herself, but by her father
("Tennessee Flat Top Box"), John Hiatt ("The Way
We Make A Broken Heart"), Tom Petty ("Never Be
You") and the Beatles ("I Don't Want To Spoil The
Party"), as well. "I Don't Know Why You Don't Want
Me", which won her a Grammy Award|Grammy in 1985,
and "It's Such a Small World", a 1987 duet with
Crowell, provided further hits.  All of these
songs and more are included on the  compilation
Hits 1979-1989.

Cash has had more than twenty top 40 country
singles, including eleven chart-toppers, but
nothing since 1990, and she has found it necessary
to leave Nashville in both spirit and body to
pursue her artistic vision. Though she had
recorded all of her hits for Columbia Records'
Nashville division, she released 10 Song Demo for
the pop division of Capitol Records|Capitol. She
also released a book of short stories, Bodies Of
Water in 1996.

Cash resurfaced in 2003 with Rules Of Travel. The
album features guest appearances by Sheryl Crow
and Steve Earle, as well as a tune penned by Joe
Henry and the Wallflowers' Jakob Dylan, who also
knows a thing or two about life as the offspring
of a legend.
