6/19/2008 Lisa Ann Schleipfer Watch out Webb, a new dogg may be comin' to town!  Snoop Dogg, known for his controversial rap lyrics and videos, has been laying down tracks for a bluegrass album. The rap mogul said he was inspired by this year's CMT Music Awards, where he made an appearance to introduce the legendary Alan Jackson. Evidence for the Country Music album is the recently released video for the "My Medicine," a single from the rapper's ninth studio album, Ego Trippin. Snoop Dogg recorded the marijuana-loving duet in Amsterdam with none other than Country Music legend Willie Nelson. The video begins with a shout out to Johnny Cash and features Nelson crooning along with Snoop, as well as cameos by a cuddly Julianne Hough and Brad Paisley strumming his guitar. Reports say Snoop told OK Magazine "I went to the CMT Music Awards and I got into the spirit of wanting to do something different. I've been smoking so much green grass I wanted to do a bluegrass album."  (Flash Object Here)
