Rosanne Cash welcomed Willie Nelson to the second annual Johnny Cash Music Festival, in Jonesboro, Arkansas (10/5/2012)
Roseanne was the host, and also performed with her band
.
She rocked it on guitar.
She has such a beautiful voice, and is such a great songwriter/storyteller. She played some greatest hits, and also they played some songs from their upcoming album, which will feature music of the Delta region.
Rosanne Cash talked about how the projects that will benefit from the funds raised from the concert are very dear to her heart, and especially because they were important to her father, too. Funds raised will help rebuild Johnny Cash’s childhood home, and the Historical Dyess Project, and fund a scholarhship progrom to assist students to attend ASU.
