    Whenever this cover of Hurt makes the rounds, I can't help but think of the cover of Sting's I Hung my head. It's incredible and doesn't get nearly the attention it deserves.

    Cash has covered many famous songs and just done them better than the original artists.

      Few things or people make me emotional in this life. Johnny Cash is one of them, and I don't know why.

      Especially the prison albums.

      Maybe I naturally empathize with the underdogs, the rejects, and expelled. Maybe I was a criminal in a past life. There's something about those albums that talk deeply to me.

      I didn't realize "I Hung My Head" was a cover. It feels like such a Cash song, I never questioned whether it was or not.
