i love how this still has the jazzy beat, the distortion/discord definitely adds to the complexity of the melodies, adds a bit of humour too, i wish they had a video for this. so much appreciation for all covers of this song, maybe its just a matter of taste as to why people seem to devalue this one. they kinda took a violent femmes direction with this one.

Fair enough. But I hope you don't judge the dandies on this song or any songs on This Machine. Because this is not their strongest album by far. Songs like Godless or Sleep are much better than this. But opinions are different. :) peace and stuff blabla

because this song absolutely sucks. one of the worst covers i've ever heard. nobody's disliking you - it's the dandy warhols' pathetic attempt.

What Merle Travis or Ernie Ford? yes in both cases I think they are both excellent but this I feel has more attitude whereas the original was very smooth and you hardly knew they were about a coal miner complaining about his conditions. All 3 are excellent in my opinion.

have you heard the original?

Or the heavily distorted psychedelic aurora to cool heavy beats and strong simple complimentary bass. And yes, it was exciting and still is. It's timeless and they could revisit it. I'm not saying this is what they should do, because they are on their own path, but I would definitely be receptive.

It's not really a cover of johnny cash, because he used a guitar for the sax. It's more of a cover of eugene, because TDW used a sax, and so did eugene.

The Dick who disliked this, gave me my first dislike ever... :( why?!?

I love the Dandys. I've been a fan for nearly fifteen years,but this song is absolute rubbish. As a whole, this album is very disappointing. There are about four very strong tracks and the rest is filler. I still love them, but it's sad to witness the lowest point of one of my favorite bands.

Pretty cool...I heard they were covering this son and was looking forward to hearing it. Didn't disappoint. Cool tune.

Tennessee Ernie Ford is dancin' in heaven...

Nathan Xavier

when i heard they released a new album i was worried at first, but this cover of johnny cash's song made the whole album worth it. great work dandies.

Nicktimus

I dunno... They are my fav band, and i'm sure this album will be a grower, but it is just so so so understated and simple and I don't know if that's their strength... I miss the psychedelic eclecticness. Not that I think bands should never change but it's hard to get excited about an album that is purposely simple and unexciting
