I&#8217;ve mentioned before that I have A Lot Of Feelings About Video, which is true, but more than that, I have A Lot Of Feelings About Music Television, or rather, what used to be music television, and, at least in some locations &#8211; CMT doesn&#8217;t seem to have been affected as thoroughly as MTV &#8211; is now All Reality TV, All The Time.<\/p>\n<p>Mostly I&#8217;m interested in the intersection of music and image, and how artists, directors and choreographers work together to bring a song to visual life. I&#8217;m starting today with <em>All of My Best Friends (Are Behind Bars)<\/em>, sung by Justin Haigh (Apache Ranch Records) and directed by Jim Shea.<\/p>\n<p>I like the song, but the video itself is also a delight, because it is beautifully shot and lit and, most importantly, playfully highlights the wordplay in the title without overworking the punchline:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Apache Ranch Records Presents Justin Haigh&amp;#039;s All My Best Friends (Are Behind Bars) - Official MV\" style=\"width:640px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_udX1ye-wqd8\"><div id=\"lyte_udX1ye-wqd8\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/udX1ye-wqd8\/hqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\">Apache Ranch Records Presents Justin Haigh&#039;s All My Best Friends (Are Behind Bars) - Official MV<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/udX1ye-wqd8\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/udX1ye-wqd8\/0.jpg\" alt=\"Apache Ranch Records Presents Justin Haigh&amp;#039;s All My Best Friends (Are Behind Bars) - Official MV\" width=\"640\" height=\"340\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:640px;margin:5px auto;\"><\/div><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Originally from South Dakota, Justin Haigh now lives in Texas, and before he was a country singer, he was a lot of other things, including: cattle rancher, meat packer, trucker and U.

As you might expect, he has stories to tell, and you can hear them on his new record <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apacheranchrecords.com\/ARR\/About_Justin_Haigh.html\"><em>People Like Me<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what I can tell you about the record: It was circulating through my &#8220;To Listen To&#8221; playlist during exams, and the title track never failed to make me grin and tap my pen to the beat. I also enjoyed the slower, more reflective songs, like his cover of\u00c2\u00a0 Kevin Higgins&#8217; <em>Monahans<\/em>, as well as <em>The Leaving in Your Eyes<\/em> and <em>Is It Still Cheating<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>There are no melancholy love songs like country melancholy love songs, and those hit the same sweet spot as <em>Ghost in this House<\/em>, by Shenandoah, and Vern Gosdin&#8217;s <em>Set &#8216;Em Up Joe<\/em>. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the good stuff, and you should check it out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This month I&#8217;ve set myself a challenge: post a video every day.
