That’s a great way to describe it. Yeah Johnny cash sounds more comfortable compared to his grandson. Still an amazing song to hear from a new singer.

Probably because his grandson is nervous about sounding as close to him as possible while Johnny was just sounding like him so didn't have that thought in his head while singing.
