Steve plays out Johnny Cash's 2002 album Johnny Cash - American IV: The Man Comes Around.

The album was the sixty-seventh studio album by Johnny Cash, and was released on November 5, 2002, by American Recordings and Universal Records. It's the fourth in Cash's "American" series of albums, is the last album released during his lifetime, and is considered some of his finest work towards the end of his life. The album was Cash's first non-compilation album to go gold in thirty years and featured one of Cash's biggest hits, a cover of Hurt by Nine Inch Nails.

The track was originally released in 1994. Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor admitted that he was initially "flattered" but worried that "the idea of Cash covering 'Hurt' sounded a bit gimmicky," but when he heard the song and saw the video for the first time, Reznor said he was deeply moved and found Cash's cover beautiful and meaningful, going as far as to say "that song isn't mine anymore."
