LOS ANGELES (AP) – Rosanne Cash didn’t plan to write an album about her heritage. It just sort of happened. Cash says she and her husband, musician John Leventhal, traveled to Appalachia and the Mississippi Delta for various reasons and got inspired to write songs about the characters there. The result was the Grammy-winning album, “The River and The Thread.” Cash says she’s been a New Yorker for 25 years and she thought of the American South as just an anecdote of her past. She says her heart was open this time around and she had a better sense of what “home” means.
