Richard Hawley

From the London Evening Standard today -


His estate claims he'd approve but in truth it's hard to know what such a contrary old buzzard as Johnny Cash would have made of some of his early material being radically remixed by a galleon of young bucks. It's an endearingly bonkers affair but it is as effervescent as Junkie XL's rebuilding of Elvis Presley's A Little Less Conversation, especially when Cash's distinctive, testosterone-charged voice floats over the often frenetic backdrops. The only household name, Snoop Dogg, guests on I Walk the Line. Purists may baulk — but it's their loss.

For anyone who is interested the latest dj yoda album has some major country hits samples johnny cash/dolly/kenny rogers etc on it & to be fair it's not bad, dj yoda has done some fine cut & paste albums in the past too.

Just got around to looking at this on iTunes.

No, no, no... If you hooked up what was left of poor old Johnny's body to the grid, he'd be spinning fast enough to power Las Vegas for years

You'd think that the handsome income provided by his back catalogue would be enough to keep the caretakes of his estate happy but no, the $$$ were obviously too much to resist.

How can there be a God etc.
