Johnny Cash - Highway Patrolman

[78thThunderbird]

Nothing feels better than blood on blood.

Thank God for my GOOD brother and my best friend.

Cannot compare Springsteen version to JR Cash's reading - they both have different arrangements. I am a fan of The Boss, but this reading has the same impact as JR's reading of Hurt - as good as it gets. What can be said is that if Cash covers a song most of the time it was well written with a story to tell, and when Johnny Cash gets it on the tape the song usually breathes and finds a new life and its final resting place. JR left us so much . . . R.I.P.

I love this song by Johnny

[jimtherat8]

Great version. I guess it's natural to argue one version is better than the other, but really they're both freakin' spectacular. I'm glad someone pulled this song out of the cosmos and shared it with us, not once, but twice.

[Dirtysouth239FL]

Everyone can piss and moan about who's better but every artist that Johnny did his own rendition of their song took it as the highest honor they could receive because he was the man is the man and will always be the man learn it and love it

[AngryScotProductions]

Last time i drank with my father i herd this song. RIP, we was like brotherz

Bruce's original rendition is very stark, haunting and downright disturbing whereas Cash's cover as well performed as it may be just sounds way too polished.The song simply loses a lot of what made it initially great.Just my two cents.I realize that this rendition might be more listenable and commercial but it certainly doesn't make it better.Nebraska is one of the best albums ever and you all owe it to yourselves to check it out.Go and buy it.It's cheap

@vladamih ...A fart from Johnny Cash is one million times better than anything from that socialist Springsteen

[timjoad]

One of Bruce's best...but then, Johnny did a LOT of covers over the years. He put a mournful, soulful sound to it.

Johnny was half actor, half singer...when he sang about emotion, you FELT the emotion.

[KonigKraft]

Wow Johnny's version is so much better for me, his tempo is far better than Bruce's.

[KonigKraft]

Chuck Norris is best!

[MrLiamstevens]

legendary.....

[NorthShoreManager09]

I dont like country music but this guy sing something else. It just too great to be given a genre. I love this music.

[mccaskill172]

This Icon just kept getting better & better, His best album ever was his last one he made, & to think of the CRAP they now get away with calling "Country music" ...

[ltlstar58]

Thank you for sharing this.

[gruntyking117]

That's Cash in a Fedora. That's one of the coolest things I've ever laid eyes on.

[TcC2317]

The best combination of singers= johnny cash and Marty robbins

[beatlelover111]

I've been a Springsteen fan sine the age of 18, I'm honored that Johnny Cash would cover his songs.

[devilrobbie25]

@beatlelover111 johnny cash is springsteen's hero..every time he wants to write a song he always listens to cash's sun records to get inspiration,,

[TrickyDickStudios]

Reminds me of my cousin. I hope I don't have to chase him to the Mexico border in a few years.

[177dragonman]

great song



[AbysmoProfundo]

Since artists (and Poets) like Johnny Cash are gone so far away from this cruel, ruthless world, life's colors lost their beautiful magic essence. Thank you Johnny, for this works of Art.

Johnny owned this song the moment he recorded it - he had lived and brought things out in it Bruce was only imagining. The album cover picture above says everything; sometimes the singer is even greater than the song.

[lomconorbaker]

I like Springsteen sometimes, but he's a poopdick singer. Johnny Cash had the god-given voice.

[robbiepowell646]

nobody tells a story like cash

[hesterbbh]

@robbiepowell646 its a bruce springsteen song you do realize that yes?

[robbiepowell646]

@hesterbbh what has that got to do with my comment? i didn't say "nobody writes a song like johnny cash" did I.I said "nobody tells a story like johnny cash" you do realise this is johnny cash singing yes?

[dreekd80]

kudos to bruce for writing it, but theres just no voice or style like johnny cash. This version brings a tear to my eye.

[eljefe247]

Nowhere near as good as the Springsteen version on Nebraska . Fail.

[apc467]

@eljefe247 its not meant to be "as good" or sound like Bruces verison. Thats the thing... its a cover because its johhnys verision

[1trehafod]

@eljefe247 sorry mate i don.t agree there is bruce fans but im a cash fan and it don.t sound any better to me.

[Moc870]

[MsDetroitMan117]

[shanehenning26]

[billylastnight]

This has to be one of my most favorite songs.
