Also Chamberlin on his stunning version of Nine Inch Nails' 'Hurt' from
Roger Manning. Chamby on 'American II', too. You wouldn't exactly describe
me as a country fan (!), but Cash absolutely transcended the genre. And I
said that before he died. Two excellent albums - 'I Hung My Head' on 'IV'
moved me to tears.
