"Ring of fire" Geir covers Johnny Cash

[Facemask93]

I really thought i'd commented on this beauty , well , your voice is perfect for JK cover's , this is no exception , i agree with ORH & Eric about the backer being better than the original
There is no style or genre that you sing or play that does not suit you , you are THE MAN

Nice one G

Brilliant Geir, love the vocals here, great version. I've always been a fan of this song since one of my fave bands covered it. Check out the Wall of Voodoo version:

I bloody love this song! Always have. And this is just magic... all that Geir goodness on an all-time classic. Perfect guitars and vocals, and I love that little quiver you put in your voice - brilliant! Oh, this is so good.

[Geir]

 Thanks for the comments guys !!


Great version Nigel!

And Mark .. I searched for the Social Distortion cover too ... not shabby at all !!

This is the version I referred to (tho this is from another show than I had heard, this version also seques into one of my favourite Zappa tunes so it's well worth a listen

WTF....a Geir song that I haven't heard and commented on.......how the hell did that happen........must be the damn black hole again.......great version Geir, its a little bit like St.Thomas does Cash, but sung a bit lower.  Deadly man, deadly.  This is a damn classic.

I don't know how I missed it, but this is the type of country song I never tire of and your version is phenomenal! As noted previously, your voice really fits perfectly and the arrangement is perfect.

Bravo, Geir!

As Greeny said, love the "bu u u u rns" vibrato , great stuff!
Sounds like that was close to the lowest end of your vocals there Geir, very cool to hear that , nice work!

Great cover, your voice is really amazing for Cash.

Unfortunately, DSS cover is a lot better... OK, my peruvian hat looks better.
