Johnny Cash-God's Gonna Cut You Down

Another music video that I have came across recently that I also really liked due to its similarity to A Day to Remember's All I Want is Johnny Cash's God's Gonna Cut You Down. Apart from it being a great Cash song in the first place (I am a big fan of most of his new stuff, namely the American albums), the celebrity list included in the song is pretty amazing, from Kanye to Kid Rock, Travis Barker to Sheryl Crow, Johnny Depp to Owen Wilson, over 38 musicians, actors, and other performers play and sing along with the song within the music video. Released in 2006, the song has since received moderate airplay and won a Grammy in 2008 for Best Short Form Music Video. It has also been heard in a 2011 Jeep Cherokee Commercial, the entrance music for many UFC fighters and MLB players including Cardinal Lance Berkman, and the trailers for the game Splinter Cell: Conviction, recent release True Grit, and ESPN's 30 for 30 short film Pony Excess.



"Go tell that long tongue liar,
Go and tell that midnight rider,
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter,
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down."
