Not a fan of her voice, though. Why did so many people from her era sound the way they did? I love old music but I don’t like old vocals. Was it the microphones? Poor-quality tapes?
A combination of these as well as cultural trends. Most of our behavior is dictated by the social norms we encounter daily, it makes sense that the same holds true for the way we sound.
That’s almost Gregorian chant like in execution. Very cool interpretation. Somehow though I feel they lost the penitent feelings the original and Cash versions have. They almost flipped to a Zen/meditative kinda song instead. Introspective but in a different way.
In my opinion it’s significantly worse and only known because it’s Johnny Cash. He’s hardly singing and sounds bored half the time…compared to Trent reznor who sings passionately and varied. I’m not the biggest NIN fan but I think the original’s instrumental part is way more musically interesting to me, too. To each their own of course but I’m always surprised to see how many people love this version
This takes me back! When my youngest was in kindergarten, he discovered this song, so I put it on a playlist that I used to play while driving the kids around.
So you and your kids may be interested in this then! It’s a community project where you record yourself singing along, submit it, and it gets turned into a megavideo for this year’s Jingle Jam.
I’ll always have a soft spot for Criminal introducing us to Fiona Apple but she was young and we didn’t know what we were in for. Fetch the Bolt Cutters was an absolute powerhouse.
