I think in general it's highly inadvisable to cover Cash. Cash can cover everyone, but most no one can cover Cash and do him justice. My pre-existing bias now noted, this cover was featured in a Levi's or Target or something commercial, and I just hated it. I think it takes every ounce of bite that was in the original, and removes it. The song is de-fanged. And while "Walk the Line" is in ways a romantic song, there should be a current of danger in it. This version has none of that. It's one-dimensional. It might as well be a lullaby.
