Choose your favorite Johnny Cash song(s).

I like a lot of these, but my favorite is probably "I Walk the Line"

I don't know *all* of these, but I've always been drawn to the message in 'Man in Black'

I like Ring of Fire, but I liked it better performed by Suicidal Tendencies

I haven't heard about half of these songs but based on what I have heard, I'll choose "Daddy Sang Bass" and "Folsom Prison Blues."

I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire

I never heard about him until the old man died.

HURT.
The best cover and best video *ever*.

Followed by Folsom Prison Blues, I still miss someone, A boy named Sue, Jackson, Delia's gone, Ring of fire, don't take your guns to town...

and lots of of others.

'Hurt', though it's his only song I know. And I love it much better in his performance, than NIN's (Johnny's voice is mcuh better than Trent's).

he's such an outlaw, I even heard that song in a tv commercial

It's not his originally, but The Mercy Seat touches me the most.

I love Nick Cave. I never heard Cash's version though...

I bet it's good

"A Boy Named Sue"

Hemorrhoid treatment commercial?

The one with Three Bells

Folsom Prison Blues, Ring of Fire and I Walk the Line. I have a compilation that has most of these and a bunch more besides.

A couple of years ago I recorded a nice version of Folsom Prison Blues. It was sort of an Industrial-Goth-Country-Techno kind of thing. I would have liked to put it up on my MP3 site, but they don't allow covers.

no, actually it was for some resturant. THey were showing a picture of a nice juice bbq piece of meat over a grill.

Wall Of Voodoo did a nice version back in 1980 too.

None

*hands you the Preparation H*

Not a big fan. I guess the one I know is Ring of Fire.

You miss a lot.
You should expand your musical horizons. Seriously.

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring of Fire.
Preparation H.... coats, soothes, relieves.
The Ring of Fire.

I'm not familiar with any of these. Is Big River the same as the one Jimmy Nail did? That was a good song.

It's wonderful...it shakes me to my bones...if that makes any sense.

Johnny does it often!

oohhhh! crack me up!! oops, i guess I shouldn't have said that. oh, ugh, but , I'm laughing my butt off! ah, hahaa! oops, guess I shouldn't have said that either!...
....hey, bill, ...can I borrow that?

all yours

If I remember correctly, I believe that was the slogan for Pepto Bismol.

Not really my thing.

Does Jimmy Nail's version begin with, "I taught the weeping willow how to cry" ?

I'm not sure - but in the middle it goes something like "it was a big, big river, but that was long ago.....that's not now...." and there's a bit about "but the river will rise again" Thinking about it, I seem to remember it being about the decline of industry...it's been a long time sonce I heard the whole thing...so maybe it's British.

No, that's not it. Cash's version was about chasing a woman down the Mississippi River.

Ah! Very different then!!!

Hurt
I play that in my car all the time. I started playing it about 1 week before he died.

"I hurt myself today.
To see if I still feel.
I focus on the pain.
The only thing that's real.

The needle tears a hole.
The old familiar sting.
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything..."

I walk the line
