One of the best, and all the more poignant for when and how it was recorded.

Powerful and moving, it hurts to listen to it. I watched Walk the Line last night. Great.

How & when was it recorded?
(I thought this was going to be the 1961 hit "Hurt" by Timi Yuro!)

Somehow, I think its story would be best told by Gyro.

It was recorded in 2002. He was quite ill, and had been for a while, and since giving up touring (which he loved) he was still recording, and had something of a revival with a 4 albums (American Legends, I think). He covered a lot of songs by many new artistes, and this one, by Nine Inch Nails on the 4th American album, was particularly fitting. The video was made as a sort of an epitah to his life, and the regret of some of it. I remember seeing a documentary a while back, and one of his daughters was talking of the time they showed her the video at their home. She says they went in to watch it, and her step-mum, June Carter Cash, just put her arm round her as comfort BEFORE it started ....
His wife died the following year and he passed about 4 or 5 months after that. In those month, they reckon he recorded something like 60 songs .

Not being a big fan of his (although I respected his talent), I had never seen him looking that bad and that old. The video itself is fabulously well done, and it is an excellent song.
