Johnny Cash covering Personal Jesus by Depeche Mode

I love Johnny Cash.  I love the work he did with Rick Rubin.  While many choices seem questionable, somehow they almost all work.  (I was skeptical of the ‘bridge over trouble waters’ with Fiona Apple, but when the mood is right it brings tears to my eyes - secret top ten, perhaps?)  I think the GVM ratio of the American Recordings series is probably very close to 1 despite this track. (although over his career Johnny Cash’s GVM is probably quite low.)

Anyway, this one fails IMHO.  It fails miserably.  I guess taking risks means failing sometimes.
