It's powerful for sure, and I realize Cash recorded the song also, but I wonder if it's wise to put out such a political message using Johnny without his permission.

Re: new johnny cash 'duet' released
Interesting comments from all of you. I was curious about the approval process for this, and so I did a search and found the following at :
“I went in to make this record, sitting at the piano, and Johnny was all over it,” Crow said of her inspiration to recast “Redemption Day” as a duet with the Man in Black. Once she received the blessing of the Cash estate, particularly that of Johnny and June Carter’s son John Carter Cash, she moved forward with her plan. “I feel like the song has found its moment,” she said.
