Rosanne Cash is an American singer and songwriter. She was born on May 24, 1955.
Although she is most often classified as a country artist, her music also draws on other genres including folk, pop, rock and roll and blues.
Cash has had more than twenty top 40 country singles (including eleven chart-toppers), but none since 1990, and she has left Nashville in both spirit and body to pursue her artistic vision. Although she had recorded all of her hit songs for Columbia Records' Nashville division, she released 10 Song Demo for the pop division of Capitol. 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. Cash's most recent album, entitled Black Cadillac, was released by Capitol Records in January 2006 to critical acclaim. The album addresses the losses (within a 24-month span) of her step-mother, her father, and her mother, who died on Cash's fiftieth birthday.
Cash ranked no 22 on CMT's 40 Greatest Women of Country Music in 2002.
