ROSANNE CASH TALKS ABOUT HER NEW MEMOIR

Arggh, new website God, why must you curse us so? Anyway, sorry, yet again, if you were expecting to see something shiny and new in this space - this week, we promise (with a small p anyway). Billboard reports: "As a resident of New York for the last two decades, Rosanne Cash readily admits that she's no longer up on the latest music coming out of Nashville. But thanks to her 11-year-old son, Cash says she's kept up with the likes of Green Day, the Black Eyed Peas and Maino. "He has this great song called 'All of the Above' and it's really catchy," she says about the Brooklyn hip-hop artist's 2009 single with T-Pain. "I read the lyrics and teared up, they're so beautiful." Cash, of course, knows a thing or two about writing moving lyrics herself. Now the acclaimed singer-songwriter has applied her love of words to her long-awaited memoir, "Composed" (Viking), which currently resides on the New York Times best-seller list. In her book, Cash writes about growing up the eldest daughter of the legendary Johnny Cash, getting her start as a successful recording artist herself, raising a family and coping with the death of her father in 2003 and her mother Vivian Liberto in 2005. In an interview with Billboard, she talks about her relationship with her father and reflects on her transition from a country hitmaker to a more introspective singer-songwriter."
