Description
As moving, disarming, and elusive as one of her classic songs, Composed is Rosanne Cash's testament to the power of art, tradition, and love to transform a life. For more than three decades she has been one of the most compelling figures in popular music, having moved gracefully from Nashville stardom to critical recognition as a singer-songwriter and author of essays and short stories. Her remarkable body of work has often been noted for its emotional acuity, its rich and resonant imagery, and its unsparing honesty. Those qualities have enabled her to establish a unique intimacy with her audiences, and it is those qualities that inform her long-awaited memoir.
Advance Praise
"Wise, honest and utterly engaging, [COMPOSED is a] beautiful and stirring book, of which one thing can be said for sure: Dad would have been proud of it, and her." -Washington Post
"The moving chapters about Rosanne Cash's glorious career - and the moments of great tenderness and tension with her legendary family - are like exquisite album tracks: Individually they are great reads, but together they add up to something cohesive and powerful...Rare is the celebrity memoir that is so full of self-awareness and dignity."
Grade: A -Entertainment Weekly
"A pleasure to read."-Boston Globe
"Cash's beautifully observed, often heartbreaking new memoir COMPOSED reads in many ways like a song cycle: thematically linked, full of intense emotions and vivid moments of intimacy, of discovery, of pain.
-Philadelphia Inquirer
