    It's okay. I think it only gets such high praises because Cash was basically on his death bed by the time it came out, and it was kind of like his swansong. It's a good choice for, what Cash had to have known would be his last single ever before he died. I agree with Mark, though. Cash totally stole this song and just made it his.

    I would argue that the latter isn't a cover because it's a NIN song. More of a NIN featuring Peter Murphy playing Reptile.
