For a song that successfully blends the Nashville vibe with a California feel, Rayland Baxter‘s video for "The Mtn. Song" takes the theme literally and features the singer-songwriter in a cross-country voyage from, yep, Nashville to California. With seemingly little more than a couple of friends, a camera, the spirit of adventure, and probably a road map crammed into his ’69 Plymouth Valiant, Baxter documents the trip while hitting all of the proper landmarks: the wide open highway, an obligatory stop in Vegas, more highway, a gig, some beach, and then more highway. But, caution: Some of the shots he grabs along the way are truly breathtaking and may cause a sense of wanderlust. If you start school soon, you may want to get that dreamy sense of adventure on lock before you press play.
You can grab Feathers and Fishhooks on August 28th via ATO. —Brianne Turner
