@nickofwimbledon - indeed, Johnny Cash has done a number of great covers. 'Personal Jesus' is excellent, but my favourite is his version of Nick Cave's great 'The Mercy Seat'. Really like 'Rusty Cage', too....
what’s a song cover that you think is better than the original?
The first ones to come to mind are Whitney’s version of I Will Always Love You and Allen Stone’s Georgia On My Mind but I would love to hear other contributions as well! I feel like there are a lot of songs where a covered version gets more popular than the original and people end up not realizing that it is a cover (ex. i had a friend that genuinely believed the Jonas Brothers wrote Year 3000). so, what‘a a song that was written by one artist but (figuratively) owned by another?
