Eddie Money goes country

Eddie_moneyGive me some water! Actually make it something stronger, because this is a shocker: Eddie Money is remaking his hits from the '80s as country tunes for his next album.

The first single from "The Other Side of Money" -- his first album of new material since 1999 -- will be "Give Me Some Water." Country crooner Vince Gill supplies the background vocals for the song, which is set for release this weekend.

Other hits set for remake include "Two Tickets to Paradise" and "Hard Life," according to the Associated Press.
