His cover of Nick Cave's "The Mercy Seat" is amazing. IMHO, it's better than the original and I'm saying this as a person who is a pretty big Nick Cave fan.

I LOVE Johnny Cash! I have a lot of favs from him but I think his cover of the NIN song "Hurt" was beautiful and haunting as was the video!

He is/was a true Legend.

Long Black Veil is pretty sweet as well. Probably my new favorite.

My favourite is "If You Could Read My Mind"(far better than the original imo),think the last few American Recordings were the best of his career....sacrilege?

I know it wasn't really a big song of his, but I always loved the vocal Cash provided on the last track of U2's Zooropa album - the words just sound so fitting coming from his mouth and it really lifts that particular track way higher in the air than you'd think...

'When the man comes around' for sure. I need to get hold of it too.
