Summary

Rosanne Cash, Rhett’s very first guest on Wheels Off, returns to the podcast to help celebrate episode 100. The two discuss what they’ve learned since episode 1 (in 2018), how the pandemic has affected her creatively, and what she’s looking forward to as she returns to performing live. Rosanne tells Rhett about the new music she’s written, including songs she co-wrote with Matt Berninger of The National and “The Killing Fields”, a powerful and personal song about reconciling issues of race, racism, and privilege. Rosanne Cash is a singer-songwriter and author from Memphis, Tennessee. The eldest daughter of country music legend Johnny Cash, Rosanne took after her father’s musical intuition, but blazed her own trail as an artist. Her unique flavor of country music draws from rock, blues, Americana, and folk to create genuine and heartfelt soundscapes that contain powerful messages. She has released over a dozen studio albums and won four Grammy Awards. Wheels Off is brought to you by Osiris Media. Hosted and produced by Rhett Miller.

0:19.4	That's when they got wheels off. Welcome to the 100th episode of Wheels Off. I can't. I started recording these episodes in November of
0:33.3	2018, these conversations. I didn't know if I wanted to do a podcast or not, if I would be able to do it.
0:43.3	I didn't know if it's something that would feel fulfilling to me.
0:47.3	I didn't know if it was something that would feel rewarding.
0:51.3	It has been so fulfilling and so rewarding having these conversations over the last

1:08.7	written songs and recorded.
1:18.0	It's sort of the elephant in the room sometimes that I've spent 28 years in a band named after a song that her father made famous,
1:21.1	Johnny Cash being a big hero of mine.
1:24.1	But he's just her dad, so it's not like I ever grill her about that. She is an inspiration
1:32.4	to me, a lot of people, the way she has lived her creative life and personal life, from what I
1:41.3	know of it as well, but her creative life, her public life,
1:44.6	is so deep. The music that she makes, the writing that she releases into the world, be it
