I was listening to Johnny Cash's "American V: A Hundred Highways" It's stuff he recorded at the end of his life and after June had passed away. It was released after his death.

Anyway, he covered Gordon Lightfoot's "If you could read my mind" and with his failing voice it carries a punch.

JC's cover version of "Hurt" from American IV is a stunning achievement.

When he sings "I will let you down. I will make you hurt" he means it.

Watch him close the lid on the piano/coffin at the end of the video without feeling a lump in your throat. Double dog dare ya.
