“We couldn’t think of a better group of artists to represent WFUV at this year’s Holiday Cheer show. Rosanne is simply music royalty. The Low Anthem gave us one of the most exciting albums of the year and Mike Doughty breaks new ground every time he releases a CD. They all have different styles, to be sure, but they reflect the musical cross-section that WFUV has become,” said WFUV Music Director Rita Houston.
Rosanne Cash has been making music for over thirty years, blending from country, folk, rock and blues to write songs about mortality, love and loss. On her latest CD, The List, Cash interprets the songs her father, Johnny Cash, considered the most essential in the American songbook.
