I grew up in Texas and saw Johnny Cash at the Houston rodeo when I was about 5 years old. You could say I have been a Cash fan almost my entire life. His "Ring of Fire" is etched in the minds and hearts of Texans and millions around the world.
Adam Lambert throws out the original arrangement, supplants it with a more Middle Eastern score and makes it his own. I included the long version for context. If you only want to watch the singing portion, it begins about 1:40 in.
I know what you are thinking: "I can't believe he posted an American Idol video." I can't either. I hope that he loses the American Idol competition and just allows this to jump start his career. The kid is discovered now, he don't need no stinking corporate handlers.
P.S. Please forgive me for posting something that has a Coca-Cola subliminal throughout.
