The power in his voice was gone and it was too sad for me to absorb.

Of a song written and meant for someone decades younger than him.

What I've always loved about this cover by Johnny Cash was how he was able to use the faults in his voice that came with age to give a poignant, and frankly heartbreaking, performance. It remains one of my favorite Cash songs, and I thank you for posting it.
