|
|
one piece at a time is a funny song. lol i'm so impressed though guys i mean its after 2 am and i already have 6 responses in the time it took me to get a drink!

Thats cause Johnny Cash is an American Badass. |
|
|
Johnny was a great artist/poet/social commentator. He was a country beatnick, a rebel. A troubled soul nearly all of his life. There will never be another like him. |

Always liked "Home of the Blues", but I have to say that his cover of "Hurt" is the most fitting, affecting swan song an artist ever put to tape.
|
|
I heard that when Trent Reznor heard Cash's version for the first time, he cried and said it was Johnny Cash's song now. |
|
|
That's a cool song. It was first recorded in 1959 by Hank Snow, IIRC. |

Folsom Prison Blues
The first Cash song that I ever heard......A Boy Named Sue |
|
Hurt sure is an awesome sad song when performed by the Man In Black.
<cover your ears, liberal band namecheck warning> Pearl Jam's cover of twenty five minutes to go on the Live at Benaroyah Hall is rather awesome too. /Phil |

I love that one too. |

|
The Ring of Fire one... I'm not really a fan, but dad is/was and I liked that one.
|
|
|
Ring of Fire is a classic. Social Distortion's got a great punk/rockabilly cover of it. Those guys are great!
Boy named Sue, Folsom prison blues, one peice at a time, hurt, ghost riders in the sky... damn, all of it is great. |
