“White Lies will embark on a Fall arena tour as main support for Kings of Leon kicking off September 28th following the release on Fiction Records, of their hit record To Lose My Life. The fall trek with Kings of Leon will have White Lies playing to packed crowds across the US. Prior to these dates, White Lies will be doing a few shows on their own including a headlining performance at New York City’s famed Webster Hall on September 25th and at the Austin City Limits Music Festival on October 4th. In addition, the band’s massively successful single “Death” is on the soundtrack for the film Jennifer’s Body, alongside bands including Silversun Pickups, Little Boots, and Black Kids.

This highly coveted main support slot comes on the heels of what has been nothing short of an already extremely successful year for London’s hottest newcomers. The band released their debut album To Lose My Life earlier this year and the record shot to No. 1 on the UK albums chart the week of release.”

October 6, 2009, Johnny Cash’s daughter Rosanne Cash will be releasing her 12th studio album, The List, on Manhattan Records.  It features a complimentary collection of country songs that were given to Rosanne in 1973 from her father.   After undergoing brain surgery for a benign condition, she listened and gathered her own interpretation from this list of music.  With help from Bruce Springsteen, Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy, Rufus Wainwright  and production by her Grammy-Award winning husband John Leventhal, Rosanne Cash classically covers, uses her style and turns them into a creation of her very own.

“If my father had been a martial arts master, he might have passed a martial arts ‘secret’ on to me, his oldest child,” Cash says. “If he had been a surgeon, he might have taken me into his operating room and pointed out the arteries and organs. If he were a robber baron, he might have surveyed his empire and said, ‘Honey, some day this will all be yours!’. But he was a musician and a songwriter, and he gave me The List.”

For more about Rosanne Cash and The List, please visit: www.rosannecash.com.

To win Rosanne Cash’s new album, The List
and a 3 pack of ruled Field Notes ::

Email musicisart@gmail.com with subject title Rosanne Cash Contest and please let MIA know what your favorite country song is.  A random winner will be selected by next Thursday (9/24)!
