Brad Paisley Covers Johnny Cash

On Youtube

I prefer Cash's version ( duh! ) but I think Brad Paisley puts a very interesting spin on the song.

I see what you mean...but there are some songs you just can't 'cover' in my opinion. You know how I feel about anyone but Ms. Judy singing 'Over The Rainbow.'

This song isn't quite in that category, but somehow it feels like the "edge" that I love about Cash's version is gone. And....I miss it.

Right I totally get that part also. I just really like what he did with the instrumentation. I'm also glad he didn't try and pull off Cash's edge because he would have sounded very very silly.

I hear ya. There is definitely room for interpretation.

Just NOT with Ms. Judy.

So I shouldn't post the version I have of Chet Atkins and Les Paul playing Over the rainbow? ;)

You can post it, you can post anything you like on your blog, cause....well, it's YOUR blog...but I probably won't watch/listen to it!

You know me...I am stubborn about Ms. Judy! Why you gonna try to push my buttons?! HA.
