A local band known for its rock and roll flare has gone country, but only temporarily.
Black Stone Cherry recently released a video for its song “Things My Father Said” from the band’s latest album “Folklore and Supersti tion.”
The video, which is featured on the band’s Web site, is also being played on CMT Pure.
“We knew it was a country song from the beginning,” said guitarist Ben Wells. “More than anything I think it connects with that audience. It is on VH1.com and different stations in the UK and Canada.”
Filmed locally, the video features the band members, as well as other local folks, holding photos of their fathers. Scenes from the video include the band performing the song at the Kentucky Head Hunters’ “practice house” in Edmonton, Branstetter Park in Summer Shade and areas around Gallatin, Tenn.
“There are a slew of local folks in there,” Wells said. “We love incorporating the hometown vibe and influence in everything we do.”
Some of those who appear in the video are friends and family members of the band, including drummer John Fred Young’s uncle Fred Young, drummer for the Kentucky HeadHunters, as well as the band’s sound engineer, Matt Shepherd, of Glasgow.
Lead singer Chris Robertson points out that there has never been a love stronger than that between a parent and a child.
“Fathers and sons or fathers and daughters, no matter which, every day ay is a gift to share with each other in this journey called life,” he said. “Either through heartache or smiles everyone finds out how much their father means to them. If nothing else, I hope when people hear this song and see this video they know one thing, Black Stone Cherry is a group of people who have always and will continue to put the values of family above all.”
The band is currently on tour in Europe. The first time it played the song live was when it opened for Nickelback in Newcastle, England, a few weeks ago.
“The reaction from the crowd was over the top and unbelieveable,” said drummer John Fred Young. “Since that show we have had the privilege to play the song for people in over six different countries and it has been the most requested of our set every night.”
On June 6, the 65th anniversary of D-Day, the band took a ferry across the English Channel passing through France to do a show in Luxembourg.
“Usually our bus is very loud with laughter and full of crazy antics, but as we drove down the road along the beach you could hear a pin drop. Fathers lost their sons and sons lost their fathers on both sides that day,” said Young. “For Black Stone Cherry it is an honor to get to play such an impactful, passionate, and uplifting song for people all over the world who love music.”
Guitarist Jon Lawhon said the band wanted to write a song that would help people connect with a memory and reconnect with family they may have lost touch with.
“The video took the song to a new level, visually expressing the loss, reverence and honor a child feels towards their parents,” he said. “I believe this is one of the most life-changing songs we’ve ever written and we promise it won’t be the last.”
