I whipped out this Johnny Cash cover in the course of the last 24 hours to submit it for a cover song contest hype thing in the UK. (I just got the notice yesterday, the basteges.) I wouldn't have bothered, but the prize is $1500 USD, so I figured - what the F. I'll try it.

The contest is for the best versions of three cover songs; contestants are only allowed to submit one of the following - The Beach Boys - 'California Girls', Bonnie Tyler - 'Holding Out For A Hero, or Cash's Folsom Prison Blues. As much as I loves me some Brian Wilson, Cash's tune seemed like the no-brainer for me.

Enyhu - here's what spilled out:

When does the contest close? I'd try the BB song for $1500..... Tom

Aaah... forgot to mention that the deadline is TODAY, hence busting out the song in such a short time. Here's the details:

except for the part they don't tell you about the $30 it costs to join the site to submit.

That first mix was sort of muddled - here's a better version:
