Memoir from Rosanne Cash

Personal memoirs don't have to be written by "old people".  Most everybody has a great story to tell but those with special connections and talents just happen to have the raw material that makes a memoir interesting to a very wide audience.

Rosanne Cash was born in 1954 and is the daughter of Johnny Cash, from his first marriage.  She has produced a great body of work from her debut alboum Right or Wrong in 1979 through to Rules of Travel  in 2003 where there is a great song about facing one's mortality, "September When It Comes".  This was recorded as a duet with her father Johnny Cash as was made into a tasteful video after Johnny passed away later that year.

Roseanne Cash is gifted as both a lyric and melody writer and this memoir, "Rosanne Cash Composed" proves that she is not too bad with prose either.

If you are interested in Rosanne's memoir then you can find a great review of it with some interesting insights and in Craig Shellbourne's piece on the CMT Blog.
