The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum celebrated the opening of its “Rosanne Cash: Time Is a Mirror” exhibit last night (Dec. 4), which explores Cash’s over-40-year journey as an artist and songwriter.

On display through March 2026 and included with museum admission, “Rosanne Cash: Time Is a Mirror” features stage wear, song manuscripts, instruments, photographs and more, along with an official playlist. From the 1970s to now, Cash has sought to carve in her own path in American music, drawing on rockabilly rhythms, the truth-telling of folk-rock songwriters, west coast country-rock energy and the deep roots of country music.

The quadruple-Grammy winner’s hits include “Seven Year Ache,” “Blue Moon with Heartache,” “I Don’t Know Why You Don’t Want Me,” “I Don’t Want to Spoil the Party,” “It Hasn’t Happened Yet,” “Tennessee Flat Top Box, “No Memories Hangin’ Round” and “Never Be You,” among others. In 2021, Cash became the first female composer to receive the MacDowell Medal, which has been awarded to an artist who has made an outstanding contribution to American culture since 1960.

To support the exhibit opening, she will participate in a conversation and performance in the museum’s Ford Theater this Sunday (Dec. 8). The sold-out program will be filmed and available to stream on the museum’s website at a later date as part of the “Live at the Hall” digital series. For more information, click here.
