Originally writen by Johhny Cash in 1956, this song became his first #1 single. It's stood the test of time and can be heard in country bars and clubs all across the country even today. There have been many, many, many artists cover the song, but I think this is my favorite take on the tune.
The band here keeps the melody pretty much the same, adding their signature harmonies. They also add some hints of the original's sound throughout, but the groove of the song is totally different, and what a strong groove this version has. It really makes me want to move. I've always wanted to play this one, and I think I might just propose it to the band I'm playing with currently.
