Rosanne Cash: Writing Masterclass from 4x Grammy Winner | How I Write

This interview explores Rosanne Cash's deep connection to language and rhythm in both her songwriting and prose. She discusses how she deconstructs songs to understand their mechanics, the importance of staying "awake and aware" to find inspiration, and how she navigates the challenges of writer's block and self-criticism. Cash also reflects on the influence of her father and other artists like Joni Mitchell, the role of truth and vulnerability in her work, and the power of music to connect with deep emotions like grief and anger. The conversation touches on the differences between songwriting and prose, the importance of structure and rhyme, and the elusive nature of finding one's unique voice.
