For Oxford rock god Tyler Keith’s second single (and second MVM) on Black & Wyatt Records, he pays tribute to both one of his favorite artists, and favorite films. “The song is sort of inspired by the Bo Diddley is a Gunslinger album. High Plains Drifter was a favorite/terrifying film from my childhood. I loved the character of the outsider really being someone from inside that had been forgotten — the avenger. The pale rider. The apocalypse. Also, someone who might have a fine Cadillac.”
Keith shot the music video while on the road in the American West. It includes shots inspired by The Searchers. “I shot the footage for the video in Airzona outside of Flagstaff at a place called Apache Death Cave and Diablo Canyon at Two Guns Arizona on old Route 66.”
