Hey Boris --

Good ones. I would also nominate:

Cry, Cry, Cry
Don't Take Your Guns to Town
Sunday Morning Coming Down

His best covers, IMHO, are:

Father and Son
Hung My Head
Wayfaring Stranger
I Won't Back Down

this thread made me put my Johnny Cash cd on at work, thank you, I really enjoy this CD

[Boris]

Yea I like all those songs. My only gripe with Cash is that I tend to listen to one song over and over until I get totally sick of it.

Dwight Yoakam does a good cover of Understand Your Man on his latest CD.

Yeah, I'll do that too. Because you hear a song, and go 'fock, that's good,' and listen to it a ton, and then can't hear it anymore. I try to only listen to albums or put several songs on a mix.

At least with Cash there are a ton of songs, so if you get sick of one you don't have to stop listening to him. I have the same problem with Biggie Smalls, and he only put out two albums. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Thank you, and everyone else for posting in this thread. I have a feeling by the end of the week I'm going to own a half a dozen Johnny Cash CD's. "Boy named Sue", "When the Man comes around", and "25 minutes to go" are my favorite right now.

His 1996 album Unchained is pretty great, with a great cover of Soundgarden's 'Rusty Cage'. His cover of NIN's 'Hurt' that came out last year (or 2002?) gives me chills: find the video on the web. Awesome.

The box set 'Love, God, Murder' is an awesome retrospective that came out in 2000, with a disc on each of those themes. 'Murder' rules. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

It's hard to beat a great NIN's song but him doing Hurt just had a certain ring to it.
