Country songstress Rosanne Cash has announced a new record.
On Nov. 2, she’ll return with She Remembers Everything, a 10-track effort featuring appearances from the likes of Elvis Costello, Kris Kristofferson and Sam Phillips. The announcement arrives with two new tracks, “She Remembers Everything” and “Everyone But Me,” which you can listen to below.
She Remembers Everything is the follow-up to the 2014 album that won Cash three Grammys, The River & the Thread (which landed on Paste’s list of the best alt-country albums of all time). This time around, she’s writing more personally, as well as exploring the many female narratives of the #MeToo age.
“There is a woman’s real life, complex experiences and layered understanding in these songs,” Cash said in a statement. “I could not have written them 10 years ago—not even close. Time is shorter, I have more to say.”
On the ballad “She Remembers Everything,” which features Phillips, Cash is thoughtful and searing. “Who knows who she used to be before it all went dark?” she sings. “Everyone But Me” is just as emotional, though it’s even more somber.
Writing about #MeToo isn’t Cash’s first traipse into political territory. Last year, she penned an op-ed for the New York Times, rallying the country music community to embrace stricter gun-control laws and condemning the National Rifle Association.
She Remembers Everything will also be available as a deluxe box set containing personal letters from Costello and Phillips, and exclusive live recordings with Emmylou Harris and Lucinda Williams. You can preorder She Remembers Everything here. While you’re at it, listen to a Rosanne Cash concert circa 1981 by way of the Paste vault below, beneath “She Remembers Everything” and “Everyone But Me,” respectively. Cash is also kicking off a massive tour in support of the record; keep scrolling for all the dates.
