You must hunt out the video, which is very moving - both his wife and he died within a few months of making it. I'm a newbie to Cash's music too but what I've heard so far is v good. Hiya

That version of ‘Hurt’ is superb, isn’t it? You must hunt out the video, which is very moving - both his wife and he died within a few months of making it. I’m a newbie to Cash’s music too but what I’ve heard so far is v good.

I did not know that either. It just seemed to me that Cash wrote it (given his state of deterioration at the time). Anyway, always glad to be corrected as I often get the particulars wrong. ;-) Anne, thanks for the info. I did not know that either.

Given more poignancy by his death. However, I have to inform you that it was written by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. It is on their " Downward Spiral " album of 1994. It is a beautiful song.

Very inspiring. Other songs of his that I like are "I Walk The Line" (used in a GAP commercial but I don't let that ruin it for me), "Ring of Fire," "Sunday Morning Coming Down," and a fun little song that he sang with his wife: "Jackson." If you have iTunes you can head over the iTunes store and listen to some samples of these and others to see what you think.

Shall also check out the video, which sounds quite intriguing. So he wrote this tune when he was near death? It does sound so full and tired and wise and done. Hi Perry, thanks for the trivia!

"The man in black"). I know you will enjoy his music and it is widely available and easy to find. The song you heard was written when he was near death and there is an accompanying video. Some trivia: Johnny Cash co-starred in a Columbo episode (a TV show from the 1970s) where he turned in a wonderful acting performance and sang a few songs as well.
