Billy Ray Cyrus and EDM are words typically not heard in the same sentence, but 2017 is proving to be a year that gets stranger and stranger by the day.

The country superstar–and dad to pop star Miley Cyrus–is celebrating the 25th anniversary of his once-inescapable country tune, "Achy Breaky Heart," with an EDM update.

Yes, you read that right.

The musician shared the news with Rolling Stone late last week. According to the magazine, Cyrus' new "EDM" version will feature funk legend Bootsy Collins, of all people. No word on who'll be producing or when audiences can tune in (or out).

This is not the first time EDM has touched with the country world. In 2013, we wrote about the rise of Country EDM.
