Rage, regret, long-term love, feminism and memory – those are some of the themes that veteran songwriter Rosanne Cash explores on her new album She Remembers Everything. In our conversation, Rosanne explains the urgent need she felt to tell female stories on this album and how her 20 years of gun control activism informed a song called “8 Gods of Harlem” which also features Kris Kristofferson and Elvis Costello. Cash also reflects on being recently given the “Spirit of Americana Free Speech Award” which was presented for the first time in 2002 to her father, the late Johnny Cash.
