Thanks for the full song, Mende! Like others have stated, I too am a Johnny Cash fan. I really admire his "American" CD series and have been looking forward to this last volume of that series.

I think this will become one of my favorite covers of a Lightfoot song. The song itself, along with the haunting vulnerability of his voice is the perfect combination to captivate the listener's attention (and give them goose bumps)

Another song that did this for me, was Johnny's duet with his daughter, Rosanne Cash, called "September When It Comes" from her CD Rules Of Travel. Rosanne was influenced by 9/11 when she wrote the song, but it became so much more when her father ended up passing in September. The words and music are just beautiful and Johnny's contribution really adds to the poignancy of the song.
