Rosanne Cash Celebrated With New Exhibit at Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum

The eldest daughter of Johnny Cash and his first wife, Vivian Cash, Rosanne Cash appeared to follow in her father’s footsteps when it came to country music. But while Cash embraced the world of country music, his daughter explored genres like country and pop. Throughout the years, Rosanne released 14 studio albums, with her last, She Remembers Everything, hitting shelves back in 2018. Winning several Grammy Awards for songs like “I Don’t Know Why You Don’t Want Me”, the singer received a special exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. 

For those who happen to find themselves at the museum, the exhibit, titled “Time Is a Mirror”, revealed a deep look into Rosanne’s career in the spotlight. The exhibit featured manuscripts from songwriting sessions, outfits she wore on stage, and even instruments from her time on the road. With Rosanne sharing a rich history in country music thanks to her contributions and her father, the exhibit honors Rosanne’s legacy and her classic hits songs like “Seven Year Ache.” 

The exhibit will take fans on a journey through Rosanne’s career in country music and will remain open until March 2026.

Rosanne Cash Discusses How Her Father Dealt With Emotions

Back in 2010, during the release of her memoir, Rosanne Cash Composed, the singer opened up about her relationship with her father and what type of man he was. She explained, “My dad worked out a lot of his stuff in the spotlight. He took his pain and his problems to the stage. It was his forum for unraveling his psyche and working out the boulders that were there — the pain, and the regret. And he took me to that moment with him that night. He was like many men of his generation in that he didn’t talk about feelings very much. Even though he was a great artist, in private moments he didn’t open up about his feelings.”

While Cash didn’t care to talk about his feelings, Rosanne insisted, “He was a tough guy with huge soul. That was the way he kind of got his feelings out in those moments, and it was very beautiful.”
