You honestly need to check out the Joe Strummer cover of this on the "Street Core" album. honestly. Give that a listen.

Starts about 32 seconds in.

a couple of things:
a) its a great song
b)not sure if this is the one you're refering to but joe strummer did a version of the song with johnny cash before both of them passed away, its moving and a great version
c) i hope chris cornell's new album sounds more like he did covering redemption song then he does on that crappy snipet of a song i heard he did with timbaland
d) rihanna gets hotter by the second in my book

This is a seperate version that he recorded for his "Street Core" record, which is over the top amazing record. The Johnny Cash version is incredible too. But isn't anything that Johnny Cash touches amazing?

I love both versions, but I think Strummer's solo version is my favourite, perhaps the definitive version for me.
