I fucking hate that it feels like JC "stole" the songs identity from NIN. IMO it sounds awful, there's so much more raw emotion in Trents voice. Ugh, give credit to the man who actually wrote it.

I honestly don't like the JC version. He's iconic so I've never said it out loud but it sounds like your uncle doing karaoke to me.

To me he sounds pretty lifeless and dead, but I've never liked any of his music. I like your description though!

Ring of Fire is pretty great. And I enjoy his songs in a country western performative way, like A Boy Named Sue is super fun to listen to, but I don't think of him as an artist. His daughter Roseanne though is a hell of a good musician.
