Did you ever get Cash IV (The Man Comes Around), the album?
I didn't but I've heard really good things about it.

When I hear Cash sing it, I hear a man at the end of his life, a person remorseful of what he did with his life. But when Trent sings it, I hear a man with nothing. A man so painfully alone that you can't do anything but feel sort of depressed at the state he is in now.

By the way, I believe Trent wrote this song when he was deep into his alcoholism, so it gives the song that extra oomph.
