Rosanne Cash was born in Memphis in 1955, the eldest daughter of Johnny Cash and his first wife, Vivian, and she has spent her whole career proving she's nobody's footnote. Seven Year Ache, her 1981 breakthrough, took country music by the lapels: the title track is a slinky, restless tune that sounds as much like new wave pop as it does Nashville, and it went to number one on the country singles chart while crossing into the pop Top 30. A run of genre-hopping singles through the '80s followed, and she won her first Grammy in 1985 for "I Don't Know Why You Don't Want Me".
In 1990 she made the bare, inward-looking Interiors, a clean break with the pop-country polish, then moved from Nashville to New York, where she has kept writing songs, books and essays. Her later records are rich, searching things: Black Cadillac in 2006, The List in 2009 with "Sea of Heartbreak" and "500 Miles", and She Remembers Everything in 2018, featuring "Not Many Miles to Go".
In 2015 she won three Grammys in a single night, Best Americana Album for The River & the Thread among them, with John Leventhal sharing the roots song award, and the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame took her in that October.
