Track of the day – ‘Hurt’ Johnny Cash

Actually, I’ve never heard the original, but Johnny Cash’s sombre elegance and heartfelt intonation have kept this song high up on my need-to-play list. And the video is just beautiful – how the camera lingers on his gnarled old-man hands, and the thin curls at the base of his neck, while his wife looks lovingly on.
