It's almost as if this song was written for Johnny Cash - sounds like something written in the 50's!
Love it and the original too.

Dear Bob, Your playlist for Sunday March 3rd 2013 was fantastic! Being used to a lot of repeated singles and odd flows of genres—- we much appreciated the flow and cohesive build of the day. Lots of great tunes were heard, keep it up!  |

As a footnote, is JC's appeal more about fans thinking it's cool to be a JC fan, or because the music itself is cool. Quite frankly, I've never quite understood the appeal. His voice is not that great, and he talks mostly, doesn't really sing the lyrics. I do understand the "feel his pain" thing blah blah blah, but HE'S NOT THAT GOOD still!

Would love to have heard that medley! |

His last few albums/cd's were among his best. He shares that distinction with Leonard Cohen.

brilliant cover of the song by Chris Cornell of Soundgarden...
this is for Johnny Cash—
His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead.
—James Joyce, "The Dead" in Dubliners (1914)

Regardless I love Johnny's music but I still in my mind hear that toilet flushing every time a Johnny Cash song because of that damn DJ.
When I was a crude adolescent we thought Johnny Cash was a Durex vending machine. I'll get me pullover... |

If you look in the dictionary under "icon" you'll see Johnny's photo.
