Rosanne Cash Lends Her Ex a Hand

Love this video of Rosanne Cash singing "Sister, Oh Sister," a song from her ex-husband, country crooner Rodney Crowell, and poet/author Mary Karr's upcoming "collaborative" LP called "Kin."


The clip -- which because of privacy setting you have to click HERE to watch -- is beautifully directed by Devereux Milburn and has so many things going on -- from Rose's first husband playing guitar on one side while current hubby, John Leventhal, plays on the other (I'm fascinated by people who remain close to their exes), to a backup appearance by Chely Wright, the first time I've actually ever heard something come out of her mouth that wasn't about her sexuality. "Kin" is slated for release in March 2012, and also features collaborations with Norah Jones, Kris Kristofferson, Lucinda Williams, Vince Gill, EmmyLou Harris and Leeann Womack. (How's that for a lineup?)

UPDATE:



Here's a sweet fan-made video that seems to have the artists' approval.
