Absolutely. If anyone can make a song his own like that it's Johnny Cash. Nice one!

Bloody love that one too...

From the wiki page...so very, very true...

When Trent Reznor was asked if Cash could cover his song, Reznor said he was "flattered" but worried that "the idea sounded a bit gimmicky." He became a fan of Cash's version, however, once he saw the music video.

“ I pop the video in, and wow... Tears welling, silence, goose-bumps... Wow. [I felt like] I just lost my girlfriend, because that song isn't mine anymore... It really made me think about how powerful music is as a medium and art form. I wrote some words and music in my bedroom as a way of staying sane, about a bleak and desperate place I was in, totally isolated and alone. [Somehow] that winds up reinterpreted by a music legend from a radically different era/genre and still retains sincerity and meaning — different, but every bit as pure.[7]

That image is tosh, though - I was at the Royal Albert Hall concerts and he didn't sing it there (he sung it at the Acoustic Meltdown - that's the one shown in the first video)

This was my fave cover during my young, headbanging years:
