I'm British and I've been living in Kentucky and then North Carolina for the last seven years. I got into Johnny Cash in his last years and I have to say that every time I hear his cover of 'Hurt' I can't help think of Kristin Hersh. For me a duet or an album of acoustic duets with the man would have been fantastic. That's one missed opportunity.
I'm glad you brought this up. One night recently The Lord was good enough to lead me to a thingie on TV about Cash. When he sang The Beast In Me all I could think was, this song is so...Kristin, and would fit right into The Shady Circle.
They're a lot alike! Pure and honest.
PS: A quick check shows that this is a Nick Lowe song. Not sure the key would work for Kristin's range, but that ain't none-a my bidness.
