The main track &#8220;The Singer&#8221;, by Johnny Cash and originally titled &#8220;The Folk Singer&#8221; is perfect and Cave makes it his own, just like Cash does when he covers a song. The two songs on the flipside are also covers: &#8220;Running Scared&#8221; by Roy Orbison and &#8220;Black Betty&#8221; by Leadbelly. This recording of &#8220;Black Betty&#8221; is definitely the most minimalistic, primitive, and just plain spooky I&#8217;ve ever heard.<\/p>\n<p>All three of these songs ended up on the full length album &#8220;Kicking Against the Pricks&#8221; which I <em>think<\/em> came out later in the same year.
