I agree this isn't the quintessential Johnny Cash song. I think what's awesome about it though is that he was like 70 years old, a country and rock and roll legend; and he decided to do a cover album of some really great work by artists 40-50 years younger than him. (and in more than a few cases he did better jobs than the original artists.) About that time he was showing up to play a couple of songs at a number of Beck concerts. Three or four years ago one of my clients, a hip skateboard/snowboard/surf brand decided to play only Johnny Cash on their phone system. He was a relevant musician for 50+ years, to generation after generation of listeners. I think that is what is so awesome about him, I think he transcended above every other artist born within 20 years of him.

I agree with you. I mean you could do Folsom Prison Blues or Boy Names Sue, but What other 70+ year old man do you know that could pull of Nine Inch Nails?

Johnny Cash was certainly awesome, but I'm not sure this was the most awesome of song selections.
