Johnny Cash

My exposure to Johnny Cash has been mainly from my dad. My sister has also been a huge fan of him. She actually said certain songs in the movie "Walk The Line" where Joaquin Phoenix sang, sound better than Johnny Cash. I didn't believe her but I listened to them and they did sound very good. It is hard for me to classify his music. For me, it would probably fall under the rock and roll category more than anything.

This song sounds like rock to me. His lower pitched voice makes the song what it is and makes him what he is. His music sounds different than any other artist to me. His use of various instruments while maintaining a rock feel is quite original.

"Hurt" is a very emotional song of his. I included it because it shows a different sound that he can produce. It isn't the kind of rock that his other songs are, but it is an emotional acoustic track.
