Hurt-Johnny Cash (Cover)

[TheCichlidGeek]

I'v worked with music on and off for more then a decade, as a theam party manager and booking agent ect. ect. In not gonna be gentle, but straight up forward - Thats is a very good cover bro, your voice is pretty perfect for Johnny Cash covers. I'd book ya for a pub gig or simular if you where local to my area.

[leadslanger]

There are a few people, like Johnny Cash, that no one can do any justice to their songs. Most people shouldn't even attempt it. You have done what few people are able to do. This video is awesome. Sent it right to my favorites list.

[guitarmikey2]

@leadslanger Thanks a lot for the kind words man :)

[Lifegiver321]

Nice job man, nice job indeed..... Where did you film this for the acoustics? Subbed just to see if you crank out another one ;)

[jeeperoo84]

Subbed just because this is one of my favorite songs and you do it justice! well done. Plus I enjoyed some of your other vids as well.

[guitarmikey2]

[INFIDELxSTRONG]

you know, i'm a huge Johnny Cash fan, & what you did hear is incredible. i don't know if this idea appeals to you, but if i were you i'd send this vid to the Ellen Degeneres Show. i know she has on a lot of people who sing or dance on youtube. i think she'd be impressed. good job bud.

[guitarmikey2]

@INFIDELxSTRONG Thanks a lot for the kind words, I'm flattered that you think Ellen would even consider it. Thanks!

[Lookinformemarbles]

Good stuff Mike!!

[guitarmikey2]

@Lookinformemarbles Thanks man!

[cb3099]

[MrSurgicalPrecision]

Outstanding, one of my favorite covers ever.

[guitarmikey2]

@MrSurgicalPrecision Thanks man, yeah Johnny's cover is just amazing.

[Downtoearth316]

God blessed you with some great talent man! Take care, man. God bless!

[guitarmikey2]

@Downtoearth316 Well thanks man :)

[thomassmyth65]

beautiful work, i very much enjoy this song, all variations of it, check out sevendust's cover of it on there live album its a good one also

[guitarmikey2]

@thomassmyth65 Thanks, I will check that out!

[AussieMark909]

Mikey you have some real talent. I really enjoyed this. I'm not a musician, but I know what I like, and I sure liked this.

[guitarmikey2]

@AussieMark909 Well thank you sir!

[DemonHide]

I just pulled the ol' acoustic out of storage today after over a year. Hard to beat that wonderful sound, well done...

[guitarmikey2]

@DemonHide Yes sir, nothing like sitting around and just strumming :)

[wioutdoors]

Outstanding one of the best Johnny Cash songs ever (i know nails did it first but Cash did it better)

[guitarmikey2]

@wioutdoors It is a great song for sure

[AppalachianFreedom]

Man...are the acoustics as good in that room as I think they are? -- Sounds like it would be a good place to do some recording! I love a "lively" room!!!

[guitarmikey2]

@AppalachianFreedom They are ok, but not great. The room is a really large concrete box haha. Thanks for watching my friend!

[yska08]

Time to get that recorded mate. You're good!

[guitarmikey2]

@yska08 haha, thanks :)

[BeanDip0913]

holy crap, good job sir

[guitarmikey2]

@BeanDip0913 lol, thanks man

[SmokingandTyping]

Solid version. I'm glad I watched this. It's weird seeing guitar vids pop up on my gun nerd recommendations. It's weird but I like it.

I've got a soft spot for Bowie's version of this song. The Cash version you're doing is better but good songs should just get played, thanks.

[guitarmikey2]

@SmokingandTyping Thanks :)

[4wlrkiller]

Very good job, very touching song. A+

[guitarmikey2]

@4wlrkiller Thanks :)

[9bymyside]

Spot on, great job!! Thumbs up

[guitarmikey2]

@9bymyside Thanks a lot man! :)

[USNVET81]

Outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[guitarmikey2]

@USNVET81 Thanks!! :)

[wcropp1]

I'm a big Cash fan as well, and you did a great job man. That's a tall order to cover a Johnny Cash song--his voice is so unique--but you did a really good job.

[guitarmikey2]

@wcropp1 Thanks a lot man. I never would have even tried it if some people hadn't asked. I respect Johnny way too much to even try anything he's done. He's a true Legend

[Rudemustang1]

you jammed that song, great job!!!

[guitarmikey2]

@Rudemustang1 Thanks man! :)

[ShawDAMAN]

I'm a big Johnny fan too, and you really, really did that song justice. I'd go so far as to say your singing is more musical although of course the raw poignancy of an aged Cash singing it can't be beat. :) The first verse is a tearjerker. Thanks for sharing man

[guitarmikey2]

@ShawDAMAN You are right, there is something about those guys' voices when they were older. Johnny, Willie, George Jones, Waylon, Merle. They were all great throughout their careers, but their voices aged like fine wine. Thanks so much for the kind words man, that makes me feel really good :)

[steev5x5]

beautiful rendition...you have a real solid talent there.

[guitarmikey2]

@steev5x5 Thank you sir!

[dukeboy3]

simply amazing.....

[guitarmikey2]

@dukeboy3 wow thanks man!

[SurviveToLife]

good stuff man.

[guitarmikey2]

[panthervikefan2013]

Both this version and the NIN version both give me the chills every time!!

[guitarmikey2]

@panthervikefan2013 What a great song!

[Grubkat]

Johnny Cash said that this was the best song written about addiction that he had ever heard. You do it justice Mike. Great video, brother.

[guitarmikey2]

@Grubkat What a great song man. Johnny is so awesome. Thanks man :)

[Mr1911guy]

That song gives me chills.
