It's good to listen to the original again. This version is just...grating & sad compared to the joyful-hearted carefree energy & sound of this song. For me, it's not even really about the accent. It's about a beautiful, free-flowing, babbling-brook, simply recorded song being imitated with fame, plastic, digital remastering and strong lights for the purpose of profit rather than art. The spirit of the original is lost in all of the computer editing, the $5,000 dress, the exaggerated acting...
Wow I've never heard June Carter sing this song...where have I been...lol but she sings it so well an just wanna say that Reese done a very good copy of her sound !!
this girl stole johhny cash......beautiful face and voice.....its all so sad,,heart breaking...NOW IF JOHNNY HAD BEEN IRISH ...yep..hed be a goodboy....seany cash,,,,,,would never have wondered
It seriously irritates me when someone says Reese's version is more country. Seriously? Her accent was- as TexianPride previously states- "offensively overdone"
Reeces version irritated me, her accent was offensively overdone. Maybe its just me but when someone tries to do a heavy southern accent and fails it grates terribly
@TexianPride I believe Reese is originally from Nashville, TN. I'm not from the South, but I thought maybe because of that her Southern accent was accurate. But I guess to Southern ears it sounds fake? Just asking.
@TexianPride I honestly thought it sounded fine, but I think what she might have been imitating was a bit more Southeastern. I'm from Savannah, Georgia and mine and a lot of my friends' sound pretty similar to this.
Isn't the guitar @0:23 the same kind Johhny Cash bought while in the air force on the movie? I think the only difference is the one in the movie had dot inlays in the frets.
songs just aint this good anymore. Music used to be fun and different but now its all the same about clubbing and nike shoes. I been getting made fun of since 9th grade because I have johnny cash and rolling stones cds when everybody else has dr. dre and lady gaga
@casinobowling I think you take a little bit wrong because it is one of the last years of June Carter Cash's Life.. But i agree with you Carlene look alike her mother. =)
I love this song, im so glad i watched walk the line, i never would have heard of june carter if it wasnt for that film. Reese Witherspoon was great as june and Pheonix was great as johnny cash!!
Reese did a great job, they both sound great :)

@ShanBan80 Ive heard some heavy accents but not as heavy as hers.
She did her best of course and thats all she could do.
But her accent was off, though Ive heard that its difficult to do a fake southern accent.
For what its worth she did well, just a bit off and it was kind of offensive kind of mocking almost.
Not on purpose Im sure though lol
Maybe its hard to pick up on if your not from the south, Ive though some New York accents were close in movies only to find they were way off lol
