Summary

When she was seventeen, Rosanne Cash's father gave her a list of 100 songs he believed every young musician should know. The original scrap of paper was lost, but the music of the Southern tradition lived on through Rosanne, and over thirty-five years later the best-selling album inspired by that legendary list was released. Always Been There is the story of those years in between, painting an unforgettable portrait of a storied lifetime and career filled with struggle and triumph-from Rosanne's recovery from serious brain surgery to the search for and establishment of her own legacy as a musician. Based on original interviews in the studio, on tour, and in her home, Always Been There is a fascinating chronicle of not just a single album, but of the life of a musician embracing and at the same time stepping out from the shadow of her past.
