Rosanne Cash will preview her album, The List, with an invitation-only concert on Sept. 15 at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville. The event is co-hosted by the Museum and BMI. Due on Oct. 6 on Manhattan Records, The List includes her renditions of songs from a list of essential country songs given to her in 1973 by her father, Johnny Cash. "I could not think of a more perfect union of entities to launch The List than myself, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, which is the repository and protector of so many important treasures and artifacts of my family, and BMI, my performing-rights organization for the past 35 years, which comprises my entire life as a songwriter," Cash said. "The songs on The List are the very songs that BMI and the Museum exist to honor, share, archive and perpetuate. I am thrilled to premiere The List with the family-like support of both organizations in a city where these songs have never faded in relevancy."
