    Best Johnny Cash songs?

    I admit that since I saw Walk The Line the other day I have had his songs swimming around my head. I am going off to an Oscars party in an hour. So, I am taking this time to try to purge by listening to all the Cash songs I can fit into the hour.

    What is your faveorite Johnny Cash song. I currently have Jackson stuck in my brain but I like a lot of the stuff from that period.

        Listening to Hurt at the moment. The video is too sad for me to watch again.

                A dying man's last stand. Very powerful.

                              An old album cut of 'Ira Hayes' was pretty good...

                              Call him drunkin Ira Hayes he won't answer anymore
                              not the whiskey drinkin' Indian or the marine that went to war...

                              Kinda of a true-ish story I guess..

                                        I can't believe no one's mentioned "Cocaine Blues". I love that song.

                                                  The covers of Hurt and One are brilliant.

                                                    agreed, hurt and one are my favourites.. sadly, the stuff he writes never really hit me like his covers. hung my head, one piece at a time and a boy named sue are great though

                                                          that's probably the one i knew his best for as a kid but ring of fire is great ..

                                                          didn't really think Hurt was his best .. I don't think it's better then the NIN version .. If i didn't know the NIN version i probably wouldn't like it at all ..

                                                              Ring Of Fire

                                                              Love is a burning thing
                                                              and it makes a firery ring
                                                              bound by wild desire
                                                              I fell in to a ring of fire...

                                                              I fell in to a burning ring of fire
                                                              I went down,down,down
                                                              and the flames went higher.
                                                              And it burns,burns,burns
                                                              the ring of fire
                                                              the ring of fire.

                                                              The taste of love is sweet
                                                              when hearts like our's meet
                                                              I fell for you like a child
                                                              oh, but the fire went wild..

                                                              I fell in to a burning ring of fire.....

                                                                          Up front there ought 'a be a Man In Black.

                                                                          Well, there's things that never will be right I know,
                                                                          And things need changin' everywhere you go,

                                                                          You'll never see me wear a suit of white.

                                                                          Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day,
                                                                          And tell the world that everything's OK,
                                                                          But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back,

                                                                                            As for covers:

I've always known Joaquin was a great actor but who did earn my respects the most is actually Reese Witherspoon because I've only known her to play this dumb bimbo type. But here she really showed some class acting.

Freeway which is a modern horror telling of Red Ridding Hood was the first time I saw her and she was fantastic. Election is another good one from her early work. I forgave Legally Blonde because everybody needs to make money. Legally Blonde 2 I had to think was contractual.
