Rosanne Cash still comfortable behind 'Cadillac' wheel

Country/folk crooner Rosanne Cash continues to prove that she'll go to any lengths to support her latest album, "Black Cadillac," even if it means going far into the future.

The singer and songwriter has already lined up four dates as far into next year as late April, serving as the tail end of a schedule that courses modestly through the rest of the current year before picking up a bit more steam next spring.

Cash's next live appearance is scheduled for Friday (7/27) in Sparks, NV, the night before the singer opens the Bear Valley Music Festival in Bear Valley, CA, which runs through Aug. 12. All of Cash's current dates are listed below.

"Black Cadillac," which hit stores last January, explores themes of grief and acceptance, a process Cash has become familiar with in her personal life, losing her father (Johnny Cash), mother (Johnny Cash's first wife, Vivian Liberto) and step-mother (June Carter Cash) during the past two years.

The album's title track was written six weeks before June Carter's death, at a point when no one knew she was even ill, according to Cash in her online bio, who calls the song "foreboding."

"I've always found that songs can be postcards from your future," she said. "I felt that I had to fit everything else around that song. That was the theme."
