Not possible now as Johnny unfortunately passed in '03 - but I have been thinking it would have been nice to see JC do a cover/interpretation of a Frank Black song. There are some really great cover versions on American/Unearthed from a wide variety of songwriters. A difficult decision to select an appropriate song. Maybe Dog Gone? I don't know... Any song would have been interesting though.
yeah, i think johnny would've done an amazing job of covering the big man. but what about frank covering a johnny tune? i think he's do a stellar job of sunday morning coming down. man, i'd love to hear that...
Johnny is good, but he is deified a little too much. I didn't really like when he covered the NIN and Bob Marley songs, it became very hip to like Johnny Cash.

Rick Rubin is from more of my era, he produced half of the music i listened to for a time.I think he brought JC into the light for the generation that only knew him from the generation that forgot him.
