Black Stone Cherry have launched a video for Cheaper To Drink Alone, taken from last year’s Top 5 album Kentucky. The video was shot at the Spillway Bar and Grill in Bowling Green, Kentucky, a venue described by Trip Advisor as featuring “cold beer, friendly service, and good nachos with lots of good stuff on them.”
The footage features the band acting out a night’s entertainment that includes both a live performance and a speed-dating event, with the various band members playing both participants and onlookers. Appearing in cameo roles as the drama unfolds are Halestorm’s Lzzy Hale and Joe Hottinger, plus comedians Ron White and Alex Reymundo.
As far as cross-dressing videos go it’s not quite as groundbreaking as Queen’s I Want To Break Free, but it has to be said that drummer John Fred Young sparkles as a somewhat coy, ponytailed young woman with a full beard.
“This video is the first time we have stepped outside of our comfort zone, only to end up further into our comfort zone!” say the band. “It’s funny, it’s light hearted, it’s rock’n’roll. It shows a side of the band that exists on a daily basis and that’s our love for ridiculous humour and not taking ourselves too seriously. We hope y’all enjoy it as much as we did creating it!”
We certainly did, Black Stone Cherry. We certainly did.
