Subject: Johnny Cash covers NIN song
You may have heard that Johnny Cash finally put out a new song. The song is a cover of a Nine Inch Nail song. I can't believe a man like Johnny Cash would cover a song from NIN.
Guess he liked the song :)
Subject: Re: Johnny Cash covers NIN song
Which song? :o NO, I can't imagine....
Subject: Re: Johnny Cash covers NIN song
"Hurt." You should see the video, though. It's a retrospective of his life.
Subject: Re: Johnny Cash covers NIN song
I bought the CD and it is mostly covers. It is great! Go to http://www.johnnycash.com/ and you can listen to clips from the CD. have fun!
Subject: Re: Johnny Cash covers NIN song
I like Johnny Cash but I don't think he should have to do all these covers like this to appeal to the alternative crowd.
Subject: Re: Johnny Cash covers NIN song
His Soundgarden cover was incredible.

I don't think he is doing it to appeal to the alternative crowd....cause he has always appealed to them. I think he has a great sense of humor & he says he picked those songs because likes them. He has been known in the past to listen to alternative music and draws a huge alternative crowd to his shows. I just think he is a very diversified man and isn't afraid to try new things! < thats's in addition to being one of the greatest storytellers of all time! :D

Yes! That was "Rusty Cage". What a killer that was!
Subject: Re: Johnny Cash covers NIN song
What PoP said. Johnny Cash has always pushed the envelope. I can't think of a cooler pop culture figure.
Subject: Re: Johnny Cash covers NIN song
Agreed!
Subject: Re: Johnny Cash covers NIN song
Cash has an album full of covers of alt-rock songs. He still won't be doing songs with the dreaded f word in it.
Subject: Re: Johnny Cash covers NIN song
I was blown away with the "Rusty Cage" cover, it was not a soundgarden tune when he did it, it was purely Johnny Cash. I love Soundgarden buy I liked Johonny's version better.
Subject: Re: Johnny Cash covers NIN song
I currently listening to 'The mercy seat', a Nick Cave cover!
The JC version is actually better than the original (IMO)
Subject: Re: Johnny Cash covers NIN song
Those are awesome covers! It's rare of me to write that, but, besides Bryan Ferry, I think Johnny Cash added this certain newness to those songs. Plus, I believe he has the credentials to do his renditions of Rock classics after all these years in the scene.
Subject: Re: Johnny Cash covers NIN song
I've never been a big NIN fan, so I have never heard the original version of "Hurt", but it would be hard to beat Cash's cover. I may have to pick up the CD.
Subject: Re: Johnny Cash covers NIN song
You can see the vid at his website www.johnnycashmusic.com
I was very impressed.
Subject: Re: Johnny Cash covers NIN song
I never really listened to Johnny Cash songs until a few years ago. I heard Social D cover "Ring of Fire" and liked that song so much. Now, anytime I'm at a bar and am playing songs from the jukebox, if I see his original version in there, I'll put it on everytime.
Subject: Re: Johnny Cash covers NIN song
I went to WinMx and downloaded his Soundgarden Rusy Cage cover last night, it rocks. My wife was surprised that it was a SG cover and thought it really good too. I've got some other covers downloaded too but haven't heard them all yet. Johnny Cash is one of the few CW performers I can tolerate.

The Downward Spiral is in par with Pretty Hate Machine. It's NIN's subsequent albums that fell short, imo. The original version is really good and I was amazed how Johnny Cash could match it with his trademark sound. I was never much of a fan before, but after hearing these songs I'm willing to go out there and listen to more of his works.
Subject: Re: Johnny Cash covers NIN song
I saw this video this morning and was very impressed. This song definitely fits the story of Johnny Cash's life. The video is a sad retrospective of his life. He has done a great job with the cover.
Subject: Re: Johnny Cash covers NIN song
I'd rather hear:
Michael Bolton singing "Oops! I Did It Again"
Warrant singing "Stairway to Heaven"
Christina Aguilera singing "Stairway to Heaven"
Christina Aguilera singing the entire "Wall" album
Vanilla Ice singing "Aqualung"
Nsync singing "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida"
Michael Bolton singing "Mr. Roboto"
Pat Boone singing "Rape Me"
Ted Nugent singing Britney Spears' "That's Where You Take Me"
