It's a 100% Trent Reznor NIN song.Quote:

It's by NIN, so no. I can't stand NIN. To be fair though, Hurt is one of their few decent tunes, but I still don't much like it.Quote:

Delia, oh, Delia Delia all my life
If I hadn't have shot poor
Delia I'd have had her for my wife
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone
I went up to Memphis
And I met Delia there Found her in her parlor
And I tied to her chair
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone
She was low down and trifling
And she was cold and mean
Kind of evil make me want to Grab my sub machine
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone
First time I shot her I shot her in the side
Hard to watch her suffer
But with the second shot she died
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone
But jailer, oh, jailer Jailer,
I can't sleep 'Cause all around my bedside
I hear the patter of Delia's feet
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone
So if you woman's devilish
You can let her run
Or you can bring her down and do her
Like Delia got done
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone
One Piece at a Time
A Boy Named Sue
The Ballad of Drunken Ira Hayes
When The Man Comes Around
All of Cash's stuff was good
A boy named Sue
Ghost riders in the sky
ring of fire
i like his version of U2's One as well
There was also a Cash song called "Thing Called Love". I liked it very much.
Cash also did a cover of 'Cats In The Cradle'. It was also very good.
That is a classic.
A Thing Called Love and Ring of Fira are my faves
Hurt is fantastic - expecially the video
I also liked his version of The Devil Came BACK to Georgia below - perfect for te man in black

When The Man Comes Around
Ring Of Fire
Hurt was really good
The cover of Redemption Song he did with Joe Strummer is INCREDIBLE
How high is the water momma?
One piece at a time.
Man in black.
Yes I thought that was really neat how he wrote a sequel to the original version of the song.Quote:

Difficult for Americans to understand but Cash is a very 'American' artist. Whilst no doubt he's very popular Stateside he's not massively popular over here in the UK, the average man in the street would be hard pushed to name more than one track he did - if any!
That said I've been a fan since a boy, mostly because my Grandad used to listen to him. Hands down my favourite song he ever recorded though was Hurt, it doesn't matter that it's a cover - Cash made it his own. When Reznor wrote it no doubt it's meaning was something entirely different to Cash's interpretation, that only makes Cash's version stronger in my eyes.
I love his older stuff too. Folsom and Boy Named Sue are my Karaoke favourites, it's just a shame when I sing them nobody has a clue what they are! ;D
I read his autobiography whilst backpacking across South America and his music was my soundtrack! Makes me proud in a way that one of his career highlights for him personally was playing Glastonbury here in England.
Fuck Elvis, Cash is King!
Yah man, Cash is an American Icon
Yah man, this is great, maybe his best cover. For original stuff, I like Delia's gone, as posted by PacStraightLeft.Quote:

Then we have the following cover of a great old Dylan song written by Bob in 1962

Me and the ex girlfriend bought an Elvis Greatest Hits cd from Walmart when in the US on a road trip. Figured it would get us in the mood but I just couldn't get into him.
With the exception of Burning Love (which we had on repeat all the way from Veges to San Diego) and Suspiscious Minds I don't like anything he did.
All rather apt now I guess but whenever I hear Suspicious Minds on the radio it reminds me of my ex girlfriend. Cheating f***** heart breaking whore!! ;D
Here's a some more great songs by The Man In Black he made some damn good drinking music;D

George Thorogood covered this one "Wanted Man" and did a damn good job I couldn't find it on youtube but it's on the Bad to the Bone album.

Wanted man is a great tune. The story goes that Bob Dylan wrote it for Johnny Cash. The lyrics are Dylanesque for sure. Dylan never recorded it himself, but he has performed it live a number of times over the years. Apparently there is a duet of him and Cash somewhere out there, but I could never find it.Quote:
