SNOOP DIGS DEEPER INTO COUNTRY: Rapper to team with Teddy Riley and DJ Quik for 'Johnny Cash Remixed.'
*Snoop Dogg was really serious about his newfound love for country music. In addition to his current single "My Medicine" with Willie Nelson, the rap star has signed on to join the upcoming project "Johnny Cash Remixed."
Teddy Riley and DJ Quik will accompany the rapper in a remix of Cash's 1956 classic "I Walk the Line" for the "Remixed" album, which is executive produced by Cash's son John Carter Cash.
The project will feature DJs and producers putting their take on Cash's material from Sun Records, the label he shared with Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis before moving on to Columbia Records for much of his career.
Others set to contribute to the album, which will have a September vinyl release before its CD and digital release in October, include Pete Rock, the Heavy, Mocean Worker and Alabama 3, the last act being best-known for The Sopranos theme.
In a statement released today, the younger Cash says his father would not have "Cry, Cry, Cry"-ed over this new venture. "He would have loved this remix record. While it stays true to the original recordings, this CD touches on undiscovered ground. This is what my father was about: staying true to tradition while creating groundbreaking new music."
