If nothing else interesting arises in the 21st cent, I won't complain. It brought youtube. This is gold.

I thank the Lord above that there is music like this that I can show my kids. RIP Johnny.

We wouldn't want her to solo cover this song; Johnny's rendition is definitive. But interestingly, in this duet her voice can be interpreted dramatically as that of the title "She" mourner who walks the hills, and/or of an angel or Valkyrie convoying the dead narrator to his reward; and vocally her soprano a counterpoint to his baritone.

I wonder if this made June jealous.

Her high voice isn't stylistically appropriate IMO. The solo at 1:45, though, was fantastic.

I sort of hate utube because once on here, it takes everything I've got to get off. One song leads to another-and another-and another-

[Carl5383]

What a duet!! I never get tired of Johnny Cash, a man with a guitar, a song, and the heart and soul to sing it, blended with Joni. Awesome.

He had to have enjoyed that.

For country Johnny Cash is still my favorite. No one could come close to him. I still play his cd;s in my car. God bless him.

No, I was referring to the technology that this century might bring, not the artists. John Mayer is OK though! :-)
