aye, i didn't mean to sound too harsh on depeche mode's version -- i actually quite liked that song, and the whole albulm. i was just never a huge fan of it, or cash. they were both simply things i knew and appreciated, but i'd never consider either a fav.

the G-man said: With all due respect, I'm not sure Johnny Cash was sad or beaten when he recorded these songs. He had been ill. However, he was still in the midst of his big comeback with Rick Rubin and they were all recorded before his wife June died.
true. the video of "hurt" (the most popular from his albulm) even featured his wife.
but it was the tone of "hurt" and even the video itself that helped form my opinion. the song, itself, is somewhat depressing with an early 30s, drug-related twinge. but the words take on new depth from cash, as the pace slows, the accoustic strums, the voice wavers, and a lifetime gone-by flashes before his eyes.
"hurt," specifically, is quite touching, with an "i'm old, and soon to go" vibe. the emotion is very curt and very somber, but works on sucha beautiful level. "what have i become" and, more prominantly, "everyone i know goes away in the end" are lines especially meaningful from cash's perspective.
having heard that first, i guess i just sorta carried the mentality over "desperado," which already carries a haunting tune, before cash added his mystiqe. "personal jesus" is clearly the 'lighter' of the three, and i'd even speculate it contains a fun, or upbeat tempo -- moreso than the original. seemingly a "devil maycare" take on life, however ironically titled the song may be. a lifetime of mistakes and humanly desires erased by the willpower of his own, personal mesia. "reach out and touch faith"
well played, man in black.

Very true. Also true of the Bowie version.

"I'm the Only Hell my Mama Ever Raised" by Hank III If you've only heard the hokey Johnny Paycheck version LISTEN TO THIS VERSION immediately. It's as stark and chilling as anything recorded by his grandfather. In fact, the closest thing I can compare it to is Robert Johnson's work.

The Gun Club - Miami / The Las Vegas Story
Everytime I'm in London, I have a look in 'The Gun Club' section of the big HMV on Oxford Street in the hope that these long unavailable albums might be have been reissued.
I went there on Monday and there they were.

The Red Elvises. Doc and I took an unexpected detour on our way to some midweek drinking last night, and ended up seeing these guys play. I'm still shellshocked that they actually played here. I've wanted to catch these guys for a while now. Bought some cds, of course. They're touring in support of their new album Lunatics & Poets. www.redelvises.com

And, to be fair, one of my favorite friends there is blind and I take every opportunity available to make fun of that and we're still friends. That guy never fit there. He never got the spirit of the RKMBs. We're gonna keep an eye on the obits, see if he finally left or if he really did have a heart attack. 2,506,410.81 CAD Rack points

Hrm.....at the moment a dance mix a DJ at work gave me. Mosta the time Fernando Ortega, Glen Miller, The Carpenters, TobyMac (MY FAVORITE! the guys a genius), Josh Groban (he has THE Most amazing voice), Grits, defiantely Neil Diamond, Dc Talk, and lets not forget Green Day, Everclear (absolute fav is their Afterglow CD), Good Charlotte, Michelle Branch, and Avril Lavigne. We're allowed to listen to music at work so I probably heard mosta the guys listed today at some point or another
