It's been 60 years since Johnny Cash topped the Billboard country chart with "Don't Take Your Guns to Town."
The song was famously covered by the band U2 decades later. They performed the song during a tribute to Johnny Cash, and then released it as the flip side to their hit single "Elevation" in 2001.
