Nashville, TN (Top40 Charts/Luna Chica Records) Jesse and Noah Bellamy's single, "Dirty With A Southern Drawl," from their Landfall album, shipped to
Texas radio this week and will be distributed digitally worldwide through Luna Chica Records International. The single is much anticipated following the release of the 'naughty' and somewhat controversial video.
As sons of the legendary
David Bellamy of the Bellamy Brothers, the duo has not strayed far from their family's musical roots or their left of center mentality. Although the new single is straight ahead mainstream country radio,
Jesse and Noah were cautioned by some country music traditionalists that the video was too 'risque' for mainstream.
Jesse and Noah have forged ahead with full support from their record label.
"Even though this video may raise a few eyebrows along
Music Row and will most-likely not be embraced by CMT and GAC, we all feel it maintained the artistic integrity which it was meant to have," said Brenda Cline, general manager and director of A&R for Luna Chica Records. "We think that viewers are tired of the same old cookie cutter videos. I say 'bravo' to Mike McCarthy, and
Jesse and Noah's creative risk taking. As far as the song is concerned, it's as country radio as it gets and it's great!"
Although the "Dirty With A Southern Drawl" video takes on an entirely different story line than the song, it doesn't shy away from catching the viewers attention when the opening scene has the word "striptease" displayed in old comic book style and foreshadows one woman's plan to stop World War ll.
The video was shot in
Memphis and produced and directed by
Memphis native Mike McCarthy, who is well known for incorporating elements of pop culture into his art. Actual World War II props were supplied by the Mid South Military Museum.
The video has already gone viral with nearly 5000 views and counting.
