The Man in Black's Birthday

Johnny Cash, the Man in Black, would have been 86 years old today. Although he is often associated with classic songs like "Ring of Fire," "Folsom Prison Blues," and "I Walk the Line," his catalog is vast and versatile. He sang a duet of "Girl From the North Country" with Bob Dylan on Nashville Skyline. He covered Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, and Bob Marley. Cash was a musical outlaw, and he rode whatever range happened to suit him.

In celebration of Johnny Cash's birthday, here is his cover of Texas songwriting legend Guy Clark's "Texas 1947."
