  • Rosanne Cash Episode Transcript
    VOICES IN THE HALL ROSANNE CASH EPISODE TRANSCRIPT PETER COOPER Welcome to Voices in the Hall, presented by the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. I’m Peter Cooper. Today’s guest, Rosanne Cash. ROSANNE CASH Coming here as a teenager, I thought Nashville was kind of backwards. The girls were still really curling their hair and we were all like dead straight hair hippies growing up near Los Angeles. And we were infused with the Pop and Rock of Southern California in the late 60s and early 70s. And it was like coming to a little bit of a different time. My dad cast an awfully large shadow and people were happy to try to look through me to see him and try to find out what of him was in me, and I wanted to know who I was without him. You can’t really explain inspiration. I don’t know how inspiration works. But I have been doing this long enough that I have a sense of mastery about at least knowing when it’s right. PETER COOPER It’s Voices in the Hall with Rosanne Cash. “Tennessee Flat Top Box” - Rosanne Cash (King’s Record Shop / Columbia) PETER COOPER That was “Tennessee Flat Top Box,” recorded by Rosanne Cash, written by her father Johnny Cash, and featuring stellar guitar work from the great Randy Scruggs. Rosanne Cash is a heralded songwriter, a luminous vocalist, an essayist, a deep thinker, and the author of one of the greatest musical memoirs I’ve ever read, a book simply called Composed.

  • Like a Precious Family Secret
    :: View email as a web page :: Released in 2005, Superwolf by Bonnie “Prince” Billy and Matt Sweeney for years didn’t seem to exist outside of a few small enclaves reserved for hard-core enthusiasts. A profoundly beautiful folk-rock record populated by unreliable narrators, Superwolf at the time was supported by only a small handful of shows and a minimal press campaign. After that, it fell into a digital black hole for more than a decade, having been deliberately held back from streaming platforms until 2018. And yet people kept on discovering Superwolf. It helped that the album had some famous fans. (Rick Rubin loved it so much that he started using Sweeney — an indie-rock veteran who played in Chavez in the 1990s and Zwan in the early aughts — as one of his regular studio musicians.) But it’s the uniquely indelible songs Sweeney wrote with Will Oldham (who has used the Bonnie “Prince” Billy name for much of his work since 1998) that has kept Superwolf alive over the years. If you knew the record, you likely heard about it from a friend, who shared it like a precious family secret. Now Oldham and Sweeney are back with a new album. Read about how it came together here. -- Steven Hyden, Uproxx Cultural Critic and author of This Isn't Happening: Radiohead's "Kid A" and the Beginning of the 21st Century In case you missed it... The new Indiecast visualizer names modern indie artists whose songs will one day be staples in grocery stores worldwide.
