    Rosanne Cash Walks a Line of Her Own

    Rosanne Cash is the daughter of country legend but has been a singer-songwriter in her own right for over 25 years. She joins us to share her latest album, Black Cadillac, which deals with issues of mortality and mourning after the death of her mother, father and stepmother. She also talks about other-things-Cash, notably "Walk the Line," the film that is doing well this awards season. Also: the Winter Olympics start next week in Turin, and organizers plan to use music in a big way - from network campaigns to interstitial footage during the athletic events to the nightly concerts.
