Hurt

I will let you down I will make you hurt

I once heard that the song "Hurt" was the final recording from Johnny Cash before his death on September 12th 2003. Up until the news of his death i hadn't heard alot of his music and i really don't know why.

If you haven't already done so, then i suggest you all watch the movie "Walk the Line". I watched it when it was first released and having listened to a bit of his music recently i reckon i'm gonna watch the movie again in the next few days, perhaps after work tonight.

For those of you who don't know alot about Johnny Cash, here is a quick brief thanks to Wikipedia...

Cash was known for his deep, distinctive voice, the boom-chick-a-boom or "freight train" sound of his Tennessee Three backing band, his dark clothing, and demeanor, which earned him the nickname "The Man in Black." He started all his concerts with the simple introduction "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash."

Much of Cash's music, especially that of his later career, echoed themes of sorrow, moral tribulation, and redemption. His signature songs include "I Walk the Line", "Folsom Prison Blues", "Ring of Fire", "Cocaine Blues", and "Man in Black". He also recorded several humorous songs, such as "One Piece at a Time", "The One on the Right Is on the Left", Dirty Old Egg-Sucking Dog and "A Boy Named Sue"; rock-and-roll numbers such as "Get Rhythm"; and various train-related songs, such as "The Rock Island Line".

He sold over 50 million albums in his nearly 50 year career and is generally recognized as one of the most important musicians in the history of American popular music.
