This song is great traditional country music. It has a great driving rhythm and awe storytelling by Johnny Cash. The lead guitar adds so much as Carl Perkins tended to do back in his day, and really gives this song a great feel. One of Cash's best.

That is a great song. The lyrics are really funny but I love how underneath it there's a strange sense of sadness.

One Piece At A Time is definatley my favorite when it omes don to it, Idiscuss this with my Dad almost regularly, and He has tons of great song sbut it always stuck out to me as the catchiest and most fun, sure he has better serious songs, but a lot of times I just want something funny and fun to listen to.

Definitely Hurt. Trent Reznor even said he made that song his own.

Cash made some pretty kick ass covers in his time, that is for sure! The guy knew how to takje a dirgey nineties song and totally own it... You gotta give him props for that!

I don't really listen to him but I have heard some of his songs.If I had to choose I would say that ring of fire is his best song though.
