Johnny Cash is a music GOD!!

I'm really diggin' his cover of NIN - 'Hurt'. Possibly the best song I've ever heard about drug addiction.

What could I possibly say about the Man in Black?

The guy is what Elvis should have been. What lots of people think Elvis is.

A songwriter above his peer group. A storyteller with no peer.

I love this man's works.

Brandon, I believe his new LP is titled 'The Man Comes Around'. It also contains covers of Depeche Mode's 'Personal Jesus' & Bridge Over Troubled Water (duet w/ Jewel?). It's definitely got some hits and misses, but it IS a fine listen.

Hopefully more Hits. I've heard the version of NIN and trying to picture Johnny singing the same song...

I have heard him sing a soundgarden song (Johnny does amazing things), kinda like that new Willie Nelson C.D. that he sings with Kid Rock! That's pretty good stuff as well.

His most humorous song about drug use might be "Cocaine Blues" off of the "Folsom Prison" LP/Cassette/CD.

A couple obscure songs he did that are killer are "Dark as a Dungeon" and "The Ballad of Ira Hayes".
