Gonna go ahead and say what I HOPE everyone is thinking: epic friggin' win.

Johnny Cash!

I guess Ring of Fire is on Country Music Track Pack 2, eh?

[Kemiroch]

Cannot wait to sing Folsom Prison Blues! This pack is awesome!

Oh and I get to annoy my bandmates again with Visions, yay!

Hurt is a Nine Inch Nails song! Sorry but one of my pet peeves. But yes Johnny Cash covered NIN. I would hope we get the NIN version just because of the keyboards

There's actually a grocery list of great songs that Cash covered and I'd love 'em all. As far as Hurt goes, I'm a fan of both versions but I think that one's the rare cover that surpasses the original. Cash put so much emotion into his delivery and it just blows the NIN version away IMO.

I adore Cash's version of "Hurt". I seem to recall reading somewhere that Trent said he had no idea what "Hurt" was actually about until he heard Johnny Cash sing it.

(Or maybe I made that up. Point is, Cash's version is awesome.)

I would have enjoyed "A Boy Named Sue". Oh Well.

My wallet could use a week off.

Could not have picked a worse set of songs ! This was a waste to add. The only song worthy of anything is walk the line. I still did not see any reason to pick any of these up.... FAIL !
