I stopped listening to radio and spotify some time ago. I only pop out a few times a year and look for new stuff to add to my repo. I had heard this came out which is a bit unusual. New tracks don't make the news very often.

I expected it to be good because Cash is historically good. I expected it to be just another cover that I would like and respect but not like as much as the original.

The first time I heard it it was very strong, I didn't really shed any tears though. I knew Trent's history with the song, and I knew he put his experiences into that song.

I think it was when I read the piece the independent did on his cover before I realized the actual gravitas.

When cash recorded this, his wife was on her deathbed and he not far from it. You can almost feel him slipping away while he's singing it. It's the last prayer of a dying man.

That's some amazing work.
