Open December 5, the Museum’s latest exhibit, Rosanne Cash: Time Is a Mirror, traces the life of an artist, raised within a legacy few get to experience, who established a legacy all her own. Referred to as “a musical mystic” and a “songwriting time traveler,” Cash has created work that moves among genres and transcends time with a singular voice.

From his blue-collar North Carolina roots to his place at the top of the country charts, the exhibit will trace Luke Combs’s life and career by way of musical instruments, song manuscripts, stage wear, tour memorabilia, and more.

And the exhibit’s companion compilation album won a Grammy in 2005. This twentieth-anniversary edition of Night Train revisits highlights from the exhibit’s debut, along with new artifacts and rare photos.
