Never one to shy away from doing the unexpected, Snoop Dogg is to appear on a new remix album featuring Johnny Cash's work.

The rap superstar's take on "I Walk the Line" features production from QDT, a collaboration between Snoop (real name Calvin Cordozar Broadus), Teddy Riley, and DJ Quik. 'Johnny Cash Remixed' also features Pete Rock's version of "Folsom Prison Blues", the heavy tackling "Doin' My Time", and Alabama 3 doing "Leave that Junk Alone", among others. All of the source songs on Johnny Cash Remixed are from the Man in Black's Sun Records catalogue.

The album will be released on October 23rd, both digitally and physically, on Compadre/World Music. There is also a documentary in production about the album featuring Snoop Dogg, 35, who famously had to cancel his UK tour last year because he was refused a visa on the grounds that there were concerns about his presence in Britain.
