Rosanne Cash

Jools welcomes country star Rosanne Cash, whose new album, The River and the Thread, came out this year. She talks about it and her relationship to the American South.

Rosanne Cash guests, playing live and choosing her favourite records. Her latest album, the acclaimed The River And The Thread, came out earlier this year and she discusses it and her relationship to the American South.

As the cover features a picture of Rosanne on the Tallahatchie Bridge, it's also an ideal opportunity for Rosanne and the band to play their own version of Bobbie Gentry's classic story song "Ode To Billy Joe".
