Cash)</b></i></span> <br /><i>Zach Snyder's Dawn Of The Dead is my favorite film this year, due partly to the use of this song in the film's opening act...I've not heard Cash used better, ever, in film. The spoken word intro and closing, send chills down my spine...a great way to open his American IV album.</i>victorioushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02163178400538355616noreply@blogger.com
