There is a cool live video but the audio aint so good.

Johnny Cash. As music stars go his light proberbly shines the brightest in my eyes. Fucking legend.

This is one of my favorite recent songs by him. It was written by Sting which my mind finds hard to grapple with, but even so.

I Hurt Myself Today ..

God Bless Johnny Cash

lol

None of these songs were written by Cash, so heres a good'n.

America IV is an amazing album. Sure almost all of them are covers but he transforms them into something so different, it feels like they were the original versions.

When the Man Comes Around was his though wasn't it? I think so. That's one of my favourites from the album.

It was his ye, thats why I stuck it up there.

Edit: I agree about him making them his own though.

the atmosphere on that record is pure electricity and it is incredibly awesome.
