(Vivian and Johnny separated in the early 1960s and divorced in 1966.) After graduating from St. Bonaventure High School, she joined her fatheru0027s road show for two and a half years, first as a wardrobe assistant, then as a background vocalist and occasional soloist. She made her studio recording debut on Johnny Cashu0027s 1974 album The Junkie and the Juicehead Minus Me, singing lead vocal on a version of Kris Kristoffersonu0027s "Broken Freedom Song".

• 1976
  

  In 1976, Johnny Cash recorded the Rosanne Cash composition "Love Has Lost Again" on his album One Piece At A Time. Though she did not appear on this track, it was Rosanne Cashu0027s first professionally recorded work as a composer. That same year, she briefly worked for CBS Records in London before returning to Nashville to study English and drama at Vanderbilt University. She then relocated to Los Angeles to study at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute in Hollywood. She recorded a demo in January 1978 with Emmylou Harrisu0027 songwriter/sideman Rodney Crowell, which led to a full album with German label Ariola Records.

• 1978
  

  Her self-titled debut album was recorded in 1978, but Ariola never released it in the United States, and it has since become a collectoru0027s item. Mainly recorded and produced in Munich, Germany, with German-based musicians, it also included three tracks recorded in Nashville and produced by Crowell. Though Cash was unhappy with the album, it attracted the attention of Columbia Records, which offered her a recording contract. She began playing with Crowellu0027s band The Cherry Bombs in California clubs. Crowell and Cash married in 1979, and Cash started work on her first Columbia LP.

• 1979
  

  Cash married country music singer-songwriter Rodney Crowell in 1979. They have three daughters: Caitlin, Chelsea, and Carrie. Cash also raised Crowellu0027s daughter, Hannah, from a previous marriage. Cash and Crowell divorced in 1992. She married her second husband, John Leventhal, in 1995, and they have one son, Jakob. Cash lives with her husband and son in Chelsea, Manhattan.

• 1980
  

  The album, Right or Wrong, was released in early 1980, and produced three Top 25 singles. The first, "No Memories Hanginu0027 Around", a duet with country singer Bobby Bare, reached 17 on the Country Singles chart in 1979. It was followed by "Couldnu0027t Do Nothing Right" and "Take Me, Take Me" in 1980. Cash, pregnant with her first child, was unable to tour in support of the album, which was nevertheless a critical success. Cash and Crowell moved to Nashville in 1981.

• 1981
  

  Cashu0027s career picked up considerable momentum with the release of her second album, Seven Year Ache, in 1981. The album achieved critical raves and solid sales, and the title track was a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Country Chart and crossed over to the Billboard Pop Chart, peaking at No. 22. The album yielded two additional No. 1 country hits, "My Baby Thinks Heu0027s a Train" and "Blue Moon with Heartache", and was certified Gold by the RIAA.

• 1984
  

  Cashu0027s third album, Somewhere in the Stars (1982), was considered a disappointment after the commercial success of Seven Year Ache. The album still reached the Top 100 of the U.S. pop album charts and included three U.S. country chart singles, "Ainu0027t No Money", "I Wonder", and "It Hasnu0027t Happened Yet". Cash struggled with substance abuse during this time, and in 1984 she sought medical treatment.

• 1987
  

  In the u002780s, Cash curtailed her touring for childbearing and raising a family (three daughters with Crowell, as well as Crowellu0027s daughter by his first marriage, Hannah). She continued to record and in 1987 released the most critically acclaimed album of her career, Kingu0027s Record Shop. It spawned four No. 1 hits, including a cover version of her fatheru0027s "Tennessee Flat Top Box", John Hiattu0027s "The Way We Make a Broken Heart", "If You Change Your Mind", John Stewartu0027s "Runaway Train", and became Cashu0027s second gold album. In 1988 Cash recorded a duet with Crowell, "Itu0027s Such a Small World" (released on his Diamonds & Dirt album), which also went to No. 1 on the country charts, and Cash was named Billboardu0027s Top Singles Artist of the year.

• 1989
  

  In 1989, Columbia released her first compilation album, Hits 1979u20131989. The album yielded two new hit singles, the Beatles cover "I Donu0027t Want to Spoil the Party", which landed at No. 1 on the Billboard country charts, and "Black and White", which earned Cash her fifth Grammy nomination.

• 1990
  

  In 1990, Cash released the critically acclaimed, deeply personal Interiors. Cash produced herself for the first time and wrote or co-wrote all the songs. "Her brutally dark take on intimate relationships was reflected throughout and made clear the marital problems that had been hinted at on earlier albums." "Highly autobiographical (though Cash has often insisted it isnu0027t quite as true to life as everyone assumes), Interiors was a brilliant, introspective album" and "her masterpiece". Other critics called it "maudlin" and "pessimistic". Interiors topped many best album lists in 1990 and received a Grammy award nomination for Best Contemporary Folk Album. It yielded one Top 40 single ("What We Really Want") and marked the beginning of sharp commercial decline for Cash.

• 1991
  

  Though it may have been inspired by the breakup of her marriage, it also signified her departure from Nashville and its country music establishment. In 1991 Cash relocated to New York City; in 1992, she and Crowell divorced. The Wheel, released in 1993, was "an unflinchingly confessional examination of the marriageu0027s failure that ranked as her most musically diverse effort to date". The album was Cashu0027s last for Columbia Records. It received considerable acclaim from critics, though neither of its two singles, "The Wheel" or "You Wonu0027t Let Me In", charted.

• 1995
  

  Cash settled in lower Manhattan and in 1995 married producer/songwriter/guitarist John Leventhal, with whom she had co-produced The Wheel.

Her childrenu0027s book Penelope Jane: A Fairyu0027s Tale, which included an exclusive CD, was published by Harper Collins in 2000, and in 2001 she edited a collection of short fiction by songwriters titled Songs Without Rhyme: Prose by Celebrated Songwriters. Recovering her voice, she resumed recording and in 2003 released Rules of Travel, her first full-fledged studio album for Capitol.
