Johnny Cash Cover Songs-My Personal Favourites
Johnny Cash requires no introduction! The Man in Black, quite simply, was, is and will always remain a Musical Legend!
We're all familiar with hits such as 'I walk the Line', 'Ring of Fire' and 'A Boy Named Sue', to name but a few!
Not so familiar, perhaps, are some of the songs he chose to cover- particularly in the latter stages of his career.

What's Your Favourite Johnny Cash Cover Song?
The purpose of this lens is NOT to be a definitive list of Johnny Cash Cover Songs, just a few of my personal favourites!I would, however, like this lens to be an open-ended discussion....So..
I'm sure you will have your own preferred cover song by the great man!
If you don't see it below, please feel free to name it in the comments and I'll do my very best to include it in the list!
Along with a video of Cash's performance, I shall include, where possible, a video of the original artist performing their own song.
This will serve not only as a means of comparison, but also, hopefully, as an insight into the diverse styles from which Cash took his influences.
Enjoy!

#1 -Johnny Cash-Hurt
A beautifully sad rendition of the NIN angst-ridden industrial hymn.
This performance is made all the more poigniant with the accompanying video showing Cash's ageing through time, coupled with his obvious frailty during recording!
Filmed shortly before he died, this video always brings a tear to my eye. R.I.P.

Nine Inch Nails -Hurt
'I hurt myself today...to see if I still feel...'
