Cash's Gonna Cut You Down
Today marks the birth of the man in black Johnny Cash. One of the most important figures in music history not only in country where he strived but also in gospel, rock and folk. He will never be forgotten after his life was portrayed in the blockbuster hit movie Walk The Line as it placed his life on screen, revealing his hardships and pain, battling with pills and God. This song was released after his death and to me shows Johnny's talents more than any other video. Its morbid and dark but so is Cash at his best, no wonder he was dubed the man in black. His raspy deep voice only betters with age and it fits this song very well. Gods Gonna Cut You Down was maybe Cash's last testament. His going away card to the world before he himself was cut down. Its the perfect ending to the perfect long career of the man Johnny Cash. Happy Birthday, you are missed.
