'I Had A Giant Smile': Snoop Dogg's Version Of 'Red Right Hand' Gets Nick Cave's Approval

Staff Writer

No, really.

More Nick Cave Nick Cave

Turns out that Snoop Dogg might have a fan in one Nick Cave. 

As reported by Consequence Of Sound, The Aussie legend has given his seal of approval for the US rapper's recent version of his track, Red Right Hand. 

Speaking at show in Nashville recently as part of his Conversations With Nick Cave series, Cave shared that after listening to the track he "had a giant smile" on his face.

"Of all the versions, his is the one that I had a giant smile on my face after," he said. 

"He didn't perform it with great reverence, he just fucked around with it and reignited my love for that song."

The song was released as part of a recent promotional video for the latest season of hit UK show Peaky Blinders, where the Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds version serves as theme song. Check out both versions below. 

Cave is currently looking at his third straight ARIA Chart #1 this week, with his latest work Ghosteen looking likely to top the Albums Chart. Read the story here.
