"The song 'Dixie,' from its minstrel show beginnings to becoming the de facto anthem of the Confederacy, brings to mind (as does the Confederate flag) a cultural split between pride and fear, unity and segregation, heritage and historical amnesia. So, to make the point that the signs and symbols of white power are confrontable, cultural segregation is untenable, and that the African American experience is central to any notion of Southern heritage, I was inspired to re0imagine 'Dixie' as I did with the Confederate flag - through the rhythms and voices of black culture. It was in Sarasota, Florida, and the surrounding are, I found a talented, diverse team of working musicians who - over a period of thirteen years - collaborated with me to confiscate and re-soul this song as a testament to the healing power of the creative process of art. The result is The AfroDixie Remixes, 14 tracks of 'Dixie' - reloaded, rearranged, and remixed in the major genres of black music. I am convinced that once you listen to this music, you will never hear or feel 'Dixie' the same way again." - John Sims
