Ring of Fire
I Walk the Line
Not very original choices, I know, but these are also my two favorite Cash songs when it comes to his old stuff. From his American Recordings era I enjoy his renditions of U2's "One" and NIN's "Hurt" the most.
Some Cash trivia
Did you know that Johnny Cash recorded German and Spanish versions of his songs for the European market? -> Article
If you want to listen to "I Walk The Line" in German ("Wer kennt den Weg?", which translates as "Who knows the way?"), then click on this link.

His covers of "Solitary Man" and "I See a Darkness" on American III are pretty unforgettable.
"Well I hope that someday, buddy
We have peace in our lives
Together, or apart
Alone, or with our wives
And we can stop our whoring
And pull the smiles inside
And never go to sleep
My best unbeaten brother
This is not all I see..."

I went to YouTube to get a hold of Wall of Voodoo's "Ring of Fire" and found this conspiracy-filled video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVZm46iln5I

Oh my..., "Hurt" is probably the best cover version of any song that was ever written. I'm not ashamed to say that I cried when I heard it for the first time. Actually not figuratively. Additionally, it's one of the few cover versions that are not only not inferior to the original, but better. By lightyears in this case.
Let's not get all emotional man. Hurt was a plenty good enough title by NIN. Reznor puts alot of feeling into his early tunes.
Nothing is ever better than the original. Hadn't the orignial artist(s) got together to record an original, who's to say there would have ever been one?

It's not just you. I felt the same. As a big fan of Cash knowing where he was in his life- diseased, recently widowed, ready to die and hearing the song and later, seeing that video...it was so incredibly apt. Sorry Reznor, the man took your song.

There's been covers that are better than the original. Elvis did it with Hound Dog. Hendrix did it with All Along the Watchtower. Of course, neither were as poignant as Cash's Hurt.

i was willing to look past any campiness in the george michael video at age 12 because i have a penis and it approves of linda evangelista and unhealthily-skinny women in general. and i'm not even sure mr. westhollywoodreststop was in the video.
