    The first time that I heard him sing that song was at his concert that I was dragged to by my ex-girlfriend. I don’t even like country but man he seems like such a great guy and has a good voice. Anyway, I think that changing lyrics that someone else wrote to fit an idea is pretty lame and is a stain on the original writer. Just sing the damn song dude. Who knows maybe it wasn’t even his idea but it’s still dumb

        I do prefer Reznor’s version still, personally, but I’m a huge fan of NIN. Regardless, Cash’s changes were perfectly fine and definitely make it more radio friendly too.

          It depends on my mood, but most of the time I prefer Reznor’s as well.

          I think there are some situations where it works is all.
