SherylCrownonofficial the non-original version can sometimes indeed be better, but of course it is also a matter of taste. However, I have to say that although I have huge respect for Mr. Cash as an artist, Crow's version of this song is by far better to me, and this live version is perhaps the best version I have ever heard of this song.
loveturns hate, the song "Redemption day" isn't a Johnny Cash song but Sheryl's. A lot of people do this mystake but this song was written by Sheryl Crow in 1996 for her second record !
I know. I haven't written anywhere that Cash's version is the original. I only stated that the cover version can be better sometimes. In this case I find the original better.
Mino Bello Forever: @baldryk82 This is the original song ! I'm not sure to understang exactly what you said but this song was wrote by Sheryl Crow and not by J.Cash.
@lafollealahachette @baldryk82 sheryl crow on the other hand, is musicly one of the capable female artist the industry has ever seen, but didnt manage her image well commercially, which is without a doubt also a huge part of the game. To position yourself as an outlaw is a smart commercial move, thats why the market is so big for the hiphop circus with all the little rappers, as well as there is a market for crappy italian movies glorifying small time crocks, played by al pacino and the likes.
really like Johnny Cash and don't listen to Sheryl Crow... except for this song. It is always a matter of taste (or biased sympathy), but I agree: Crow's version is the best
@baldryk82 I complitly disagree whith this idea, you said that the others version of Sheryl Crow are not so good but this version is amazing as the record version and we will never know if the others versions of J. Cash would be better. In fact the versions of Sheryl Crow are better because she wrote this song and she realy feeling what she are singing, it's not the fact of J. Cash, I just have this impression to listen to a lullaby.

@baldryk82 johny cash's covers of redemption day, just as reznor's hurt and nick cave's mercy seat are very average. they sells because he built up a credit during his years as an artist, and that image and the way of conduct with it had been a inexhaustible source for further commercial exploration, an easy way as you will, which is not always helping an artist to grow and explore himself musically.
@vincereviews How a not original version could be better than the original? The author only know every thing about the song an can sing it perfectly. You said that just because you are a Jhonny Cash's fan !

@baldryk82 Back then there was at least authenticity in the harsh reality at the bottom layer of the society as one can see in the Cash's footage in san quentin, filled with genuine people whom life had not been so kind to and as an result of that, who had not been so kind to life in their turn, real people one can relate to, to a certain level and empathize with, unlike the zoo san quentin is today.
I was the musical director for the opening act on this tour (Sovory). She was this good EVERY NIGHT. One of the best tours I was on in my career.
Brilliant ❤
I think it's her best song and I'm happy to can seed them to other fans :)

I cry to this song. I love Sheryl Crow. :)
i was in vegas several years ago and she was playing at a tiny little club and i did not go to see the show. i'll always regret that decision.
What a spectacle to see Sheryl visibly possessed w/ the muse that inspired the creation of this song; as well the entire band, all one.
true its much more closer to the album version. that's why its so precious. it has a soul in it.

@baldryk82 speaking of live performances, her recent version at the Pantages theater (2010) is the best so far: watch?v=omxLrmnRMbs
She could sing the side of a cereal box and make it sound awesome.........
