I've been sick, sneezing, and have had those all-over body pains the past few days. So I'm going to post a depressing cover. You'll get over it.
Just say the name Johnny Cash and you immediately think cool. This song was the last single Johnny released before his death in 2003. He released it in 2002 from the album 'American IV: The Man Comes Around', and the accompanying video made it all the more depressing when you think about his health, his wife's Rosanne's health, and how they must have felt those last few months.
The cover was awarded the Country Music Award for "Single of the Year" in 2003, and was the top video on CMT for 2003. The single was released with two more covers, 'Personal Jesus' by Depeche Mode and 'Wichita Lineman' by Glen Campbell.
Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails never released the original version of the song as a commercial single, but did distribute a promotional CD with 6 different mixes. Even without the commercial release, the song managed to reach number 8 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart.
