Personal Jesus

Stephen Robinson

It was only a matter of time before Johnny Cash got around to covering something by the Basildon posse Depeche Mode, since… OK I’m bullshitting you, I’ve no idea what’s going on here except it sounds real and alive and fragile and affecting and dangerous. One of the best cover versions I’ve ever heard.

God Speed You Black Emperor

With the death of Johnny Cash two weeks ago, music’s Mount Rushmore finally crumbled. From the hell-raising country outlaw of the ’60s to his final incarnation as a patriarchal figure intoning songs of guilt and redemption, Cash’s voice resonated down through the years with undimmed intensity. In this special Hot Press tribute to the Man In Black, Peter Murphy talks to Cash collaborators Sandy Kelly and U2, and recounts the turbulent life and times of one of the most iconic figures in 20th century music
