Compadre Records/Music World Music has announced the release of Johnny Cash Remixed, featuring bold new interpretations of Johnny Cash classics from top music remixers and producers who were recruited to take the original master recordings and infuse them with the sounds and technology of modern music styles such as hip hop and dance music. The album, which includes a performance from Snoop Dogg, will be available in stores and online on January 27. A vinyl deluxe-edition will be available on September 23 in select independent record stores.
The remixed tracks (and remixers) include “I Walk The Line” featuring Snoop Dogg (QDT, the new production team led by Snoop Dogg – featuring Snoop, Teddy Riley and DJ Quik), “Country Boy” (Sonny J, whose album was released in August on Astralwerks US), “Get Rhythm” (Philip Steir, the only remixer allowed to work with the Reprise Records Frank Sinatra collection), “Leave that Junk Alone” (Alabama 3, creators of The Sopranos theme song), “Folsom Prison Blues” (the legendary Pete Rock), “Hey Porter” (Mocean Worker, whose remix of Elvis Presley’s “Burnin’ Love” was used as a soundtrack to Honda’s Superbowl TV commercial), “Sugartime” (Kennedy, cornerstone of the new UK Dirty Pop movement), “Trail To Mexico” (indie favorite Mexican Institute of Sound/MIS), “Doin’ My Time” (The Heavy, critically-acclaimed UK-based band) and “Wide Open Road” (Count de Money) among others.
Johnny Cash Remixed is a tribute to the legacy of an American music icon whose work has touched every contemporary genre, and has the blessing and support of the custodians of Johnny Cash’s legacy.

Gotta be A Boy Named Sue. I love country music.
Ring of Fire is such a great song!
Ah, I had no idea there were this many JC fans!!! Wow. Awesome. Honestly I love soooo very many of his songs it is too hard to pick one. Currently the one that means the most to me is “Hurt”. I like his version better than the original.
My kids and I have always liked “Get Rhythm” the best.

I Walk The Line – we even used the Travis Tritt version as our wedding song
I walk the line, of course
Hurt
The song about “I’m Going to Jackson” (I guess that’s the title) I listened to it so much when I was prego we actually named our child Jackson after this song! True story!
I love ring of fire.
I love Get Rhythm and my 7 year old loves Ring of Fire, he can play that on his guitar. We both love Johnny Cash. I hope we win! Thanks for the giveaway:):)
