VIDEO FOR "SEPTEMBER WHEN IT COMES," A DUET BY ROSANNE CASH AND HER FATHER JOHNNY CASH, TO AIR ON CMT BEGINNING DECEMBER 24TH

Rosanne’s Rules of Travel Receives Grammy Nomination
For Best Contemporary Folk Album

One of the most moving moments at the Johnny Cash Memorial Tribute concert held in November at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium was a quiet one. In a stunning montage set to a song sung by Cash and his eldest daughter Rosanne, the crowd was given a glimpse of the Cash family’s private photo collection, unforgettable images spanning the legendary musician’s career and life as a husband, father and grandfather. (Cash passed away on September 12, 2003.) Most of the photos had never been seen by the public before. The song providing the backdrop was "September When It Comes," from Rosanne’s Rules Of Travel album. It was a moment that resonated with fans and family alike -- so much so that afterwards Rosanne’s siblings suggested the homage be released as a video.

Beginning on December 24th, CMT, which aired the tribute concert, will begin airing the resulting video of "September When It Comes." It will also be seen on Rosanne’s website (http://www.rosannecash.com). The duet is a sparse, stunning and beautiful reflection on mortality that Rosanne penned with her husband and producer John Leventhal.

It has been a difficult year for the Cash family, as Rosanne writes on her website:

"Thank you for the tremendous outpouring of sympathy, love and respect for my father and my family. It has been deeply comforting. This has been a painful year for my extended family, to say the least….I know that deep relationships, like the bond between father and daughter, do not end with death. I know that parents keep teaching us even after they are gone."
