Country singer-songwriter Rosanne Cash will perform songs from her upcoming covers album at a special invitation-only event at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville on Sept. 15.

Her upcoming album, The List, will be released on Oct. 6 by Manhattan Records.

The event, which will be co-hosted by the Museum and Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI), is designed as a way to honor Cash’s father, Johnny Cash’s, legacy and to pay tribute to the artists whose songs she re-interprets.

The List includes Cash’s interpretations of 12 classic songs originally released by a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame or an artist who appears to be destined for that honor.

“I could not think of a more perfect union of entities to launch The List than myself, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, which is the repository and protector of so many important treasures and artifacts of my family, and BMI, my performing-rights organization for the past 35 years, which comprises my entire life as a songwriter,” Cash said.

The album includes Cash’s covers of songs written and/or recorded by The Carter Family (“Bury Me Under the Weeping Willow”), Hank Williams (“Take These Chains From My Heart”), Jimmie Rodgers (“Miss The Mississippi and You”), Hank Cochran/Patsy Cline (“She’s Got You”), Merle Haggard (“Silver Wings”) and Bob Dylan (“Girl From the North Country,” famously done by Dylan and Johnny Cash in 1969).
