Johnny Cash's Covers

[ROC]

So, I bought The Legend of Johnny Cash CD and listened to his covers of stuff like Soundgarden's "Rusty Cage" and NIN's "Hurt" and I was wondering, what's some more good rock covers Cash did? I also have "Personal Jesus" but is there anymore worth checking out? You could also name the artist who did the original, but it isn't necessary.

He also did a cover of Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down." At first I wasn't wild about it, but it really grew on me after a while.

I don't know if that's a complete list or not, but there's a shitload to look through regardless.

Hurt is an awesome song.

[Mysterio2000X]

Hurt IS awesome.

Didnt he also cover Down With The Sickness for the Dawn of the Dead re-make? Or was that somebody else entirely?

That was Richard Cheese.

He also covered "Thirteen" by Danzig, "Heart Of Gold" by Neil Young and "The Mercy Seat" by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, rock-wise, most of his other covers have been of country or folk songs, primarily.

I have to hear the Heart of Gold cover.

Hurt is an awesome song.

Agreed, Cash's version is my pick for the greatest cover song of all time.

Personally, I've always enjoyed his covers of "Cat's In The Cradle" and "One".
