Rihanna is Johnny Cash

Rihanna’s latest single “Where Have You Been?” opening riff has the same musical cadence as “I’ve Been Everywhere” made famous most recently by Johnny Cash. I actually heard this mentioned on Elvis Duran’s show a couple weeks back and I have been meaning to strike up a conversation about it.

The song “I’ve Been Everywhere” was written in 1959 by G.Mack and became a hit in 1962 thanks to Hank Snow. The question is, “Is Rihanna emulating Johnny Cash?” Which song do you like better? If you are a fan of Johnny Cash, can you listen to Rihanna’s song and not think of the original? or does the electronic infused jam wash out the country?
