Johnny Cash has chosen some unlikely tracks to cover on his new album 'America IV : The Man Comes Around', including Nine Inch Nails’ ‘Hurt’ and Depeche Mode’s ‘Personal Jesus’.
Talking about his choice in songs he described ‘Personal Jesus’ as “a very fine, fine evangelical song, although I don't think that's why it was written. It's where do you find your comfort, your counsel, your shoulder to lean on, your hand to hold to, your personal Jesus."
The album also features guest vocals from Nick Cave, and guitar from Red Hot Chili Peppers’ John Fruciante.
