I dunno Mez, after hearing JC do Soundgarden's "Rusty Cage," and others from the 'The Man Comes Around,' not to mention his back catalogue of drinking and jail songs I'm thinking he's pulling into a strong lead over The Possum.

Hahahahhaha, finally a topic worth reading. I mean who really gives a shit about the new VV album cover.
Yeah, Cash ain't bad. And that was a cool album he did of grunge standards. But I'm sorry. Put the two together on the same stage and the Possum would sing the fucking pants off Johhny. I mean there just ain't no comparison in terms of actual vocal ability. And the way he puts his emotion in a song. WOW. Listen to 'He stopped loving her today' and if you're not crying by the end of that you've got to be dead.
Remember also that when they asked Elvis Costello and Nick Cave who the world's greatest singer was the both responded in unison saying, "George Jones."

Better singer - agreed. Better songs - disagree. And since Elvis Costello is dating Diana Krall now I just can't consider his opinion as valid anymore, lol. I mean from Cait O'Riordan to DK??? How depressing.

There's no doubt that "He Stopped Loving Her Today" will make a grown man cry. I've seen it myself. Years ago, I dated a gal from Lagrange, GA named Wendy and one night she wanted me to meet her daddy (her parents were divorced). So one night Wendy & I rode out to his place for me to meet him. I can't remember his name, but his nickname was Sneaky Snake. After introductions, Wendy, Sneaky Snake and I eased outside and talked in the cab of his pickup. He began to advise me that anyone who messed with his truck would meet a fate worse than jumping out of a plane without a parachute. Well, all this bravado came to a timely demise when the George Jones classic started playing on his tapedeck. He kept telling Wendy how it reminded him of her mama. The song ended & he rewound the tape to hear it again. Then he began to weep. Song ended, he rewinds again. The man plays the song at least four times & he's squalling. Finally he gathered himself enough to invite us to a catfish fry that weekend. Talk about first impressions. This guy run the gamut of emotions in just a few minutes. Story aside, Johnny Cash wins this duel.

But BCoD, in his defense, who posted gay porn in this forum? George Jones? I think not.
