Akshually, the song 'Hurt' is originally from Trent Reznor / 'Nine Inch Nails'.
I just can't shake the feeling that the only way Johnny Cash COULD find any relevancy was to cover am edgy song. The Johnny Cash version just sounds like an old man trying to be cool, it's really lame.
Holy cow, that one brain cell you have is working overtime. How about you lookup the history of that album, which was produced by the legendary producer Rick Rubin.

It still sucks though? If he had anything meaningful to say he works have written a new hit song. Who gives a fuck who produced an album anyway? Like somehow that means it's good?

This is good context, thanks for sharing that. I guess it's kind of like Annie Lennox covering "No More I Love Yous" in a full on album of cover songs. Knowing that it wasn't Johnny Cash thinking he could do a better job than Trent Reznor makes it much more palatable.
