Rosanne Cash joins Bob in session with songs from her acclaimed new album "The River and The Thread"

Cash, who has charted 21 Top 40 country singles, including 11 Number Ones, wrote all of the new album's songs with her longtime collaborator (and husband) John Leventhal, who also served as producer, arranger, and guitarist. Featuring a long list of guests-from young guns like John Paul White (The Civil Wars) and Derek Trucks to such legends as John Prine and Tony Joe White-The River and the Thread is a kaleidoscopic examination of the geographic, emotional, and historic landscape of the American South. The album's unique sound, which draws from country, blues, gospel, and rock, reflects the soulful mix of music that traces its history to the region.

"When we started forming the idea for this record," says Cash, "it felt like it was going to be the third part of a trilogy-with Black Cadillac mapping out a territory of mourning and loss and then The List, celebrating my family's musical legacy. I feel this record ties past and present together through all those people and places in the South I knew and thought I had left behind.".
