Cocaine Blues

Alright - yes, I know, and I agree - Johnny Cash is Johnny Cash. There will never be another Johnny. Joaquin did an amazing job as Johnny, though. His voice is great, and I like his versions of Johnny's songs about equally (just differently). (Joaquin's voice is purer, whereas Johnny's is more gritty and true.)

However. I must say Joaquin's version of "Cocaine Blues" is better. His version has so much energy and life. Johnny's version is kinda blah. I'm glad Johnny wrote it, though, cuz then Joaquin could sing it. I think Johnny would've liked to hear it. He'd enjoy it, too.

(Oh, and while we're on the subject of the "Walk the Line" versions of Johnny's songs, I like Joaquin and Reese's version of "Jackson" better, too, but part of that could be that I don't really like June's voice. And while we're on the subject of "Jackson", Joaquin could so "teach me what I don't know how.")
