12 January Is For Videos: Johnny Cash – Hurt

In 2002 Johnny Cash recorded his final album, “American IV: The Man Comes Around.” Among the songs he recorded for this album was a song called “Hurt,” written by Trent Reznor, mastermind of Nine Inch Nails. Despite their vastly different musical styles, Johnny was able to make “Hurt” into something of his own. He recorded the video in the four months time between his wife’s death and his own. This the last video he made. I don’t have much else to say for this video. It speaks for itself.
