It’s got Dierks, Eric, Keith, Miranda and Darius so therefore ticks the boxes of including most of my favourite country folks, But, honestly what’s the point?
Err…promotion? Country is a big corporate truck – so they want to plug the awards, get ‘social chatter’, promote the artists
Goes with the territory
Whatever, I think it’s fun
The graphics are a strange cross between a Marlboro ad and a very creepy horror film. The Invasion of the Banjo Snatchers? When Dolly materialises at the end it’s as though she is the evil alien intelligence behind all the weirdness.
Musically, it wasnt quite as ghastly as I’d dreaded. Country music does have some fine, very distinctive, lived-in voices.
Nothing wrong musically, if just a wee touch saccharine.
It’s the visuals. Nowhere on earth is that clean and fresh. Everything looks like it’s been polished, combed, sanitized and deodorised.
Reminiscent of those scenes of tranquillity in horror films, just before the big shocker.
It reminds me of that terrible Swedish (?) charity video shot on a beach, featuring a cast of thousands of has-beens. I can’t find it – anybody know the one i mean. It was on here I think.

This last year or so I’ve played virtually nothing else but Country but, fuck me, that video is seriously scary!!

A big steaming corporate turd from Nashville.
I love Country Music, but I hated that.

…Dolly at the end…

At first glance I thought I’d spotted a brief glimpse of David Bowie. (The character sat not singing)

That would be Randy Travis who’s had a stroke

Hey, don’t pin that one on us! That was (of course) a terrible Norwegian video.

I heard it on Bob Harris’s show on Thursday. I’m not listening to it again.
