Rosanne Cash is reckoning with America’s harrowing history of racism in her powerful new single,
“The Killing Fields.”The poignant song focuses particularly on the South’s horrific act of lynchings.
“A few years of my own personal reckoning with painful issues of race, racism, privilege, reconciliation, and individual responsibility led up to the moment in the summer of 2020, when finally no one could avert their eyes from the truth of white privilege in America, and the damage and sorrow caused by systemic racism. I wrote ‘The Killing Fields’ in that summer,” explained the Nashville-born artist in a statement.
