Gosh, that was awful. I normally love Johnny Cash, and despite Neil Diamond\'s frequent tackiness, I like this particular song a lot -- ND\'s recording of it, that is. But this recording is a real stinker.

No comment on this song, but it's not only the old stuff that is good. Have you ever heard his American Recordings album from circa 1994? Great stuff! "Delia's Gone" is one of the kewlist and darkly funny songs he has ever written and recorded. Also on the album are excellent renditions of such various sources as Loudon Wainwright's "The Man Who Couldn't Cry", Danzig's "13", Nick Lowe's "The Beast In Me" and by far the best rendition of the standard "Oh Bury Me Not (coupled with "A Cowboy's Prayer"). I love this album. 
Bill, can we get some Delia's Gone up in here?? :DMoving. The guitar sounds a bit too poppy for my taste, though it makes a nice contrast with his earthly voice, on the other hand.
You write; 'he doesn't even sound like he's trying', Platypus, but someone like Johnny Cash doesn't need to try, he just does it and with that mighty, deep voice he almost always convinces me.
I can\'t decide if i like this or not. Great song, but his take sounds a little bit of a struggle. But, I like it since it is adding to the great diversity of radioparadise.
i have tried to enjoy this guy, but he doesnt sound like he is even trying.
I think there are now *four* Johnny Cash cover songs on the RP playlist -- and I love them all!!

You're right. The utter lack of a tune gives it away instantly.
I especially liked the song once I muted it.
God, he\'s a GIANT.
This track is such a perfect demonstration of his ability to take a song and make it his own. It\'s as if the insipid Neil Diamond record never existed.
