Performer: Johnny Cash
Artist: Snoop Dogg Producer: Gregg Demmamos; Brad Turcotte Distributor: Fontana Distribution Notes: Prepare to have your expectations dashed as you enter the world of JOHNNY CASH REMIXED. For this project, a host of contemporary producers and mixmasters took a batch of classic Johnny Cash tracks and brought them into the realm of modern dance music with their studio wizardry. The likes of Alabama 3 (of SOPRANOS theme fame), Pete Rock, and Count De Money take on the Man in Black, adding beats, samples, and electronic effects to such vintage Cash tracks as "Folsom Prison Blues," "I Walk the Line," and "Get Rhythm." In the process, what started out as pure country tunes undergo a sonic transformation right before your eyes. The end result is something that's neither traditional country nor exactly conventional dance music, but rather a new paradigm designed to appeal to fans of both musical camps.
Johnny Cash was part rockabilly rebel, part campfire storyteller, part outlaw in black. Cash made country and rockabilly history on the Sun label in the 1950s. During the '60s, the ruggedly charismatic Cash rose to superstardom, ending the decade with both his marriage to June Carter and his own television show. In the '90s, Cash began his highly successful and acclaimed AMERICAN RECORDINGS series, reaching a new audience with an amazingly diverse set of songs, ranging from traditional tunes to alternative rock covers. With his lean, angular sound and hearty, passionate baritone, Cash forged one of the most unique styles in all of popular music, one that delved into gospel, folk, and rock, but also remained the essence of country music. Four months after his wife died, Johnny Cash passed away on September 12, 2003. And in 2005, the Oscar-nominated biopic WALK THE LINE brought Cash's music and legend to his largest audience yet.
