The uptempo neo traditional country song features an appearance by its namesake
CMT hosted the broadcast debut of Alex Miller’s “The Byrd” earlier today (Mon, May 5th) and it is now spinning across the 24-hour music channel. The honky-tonkin’ performance-forward video prominently features 90s country star Tracy Byrd.
The video, produced and directed by Steve Kinney (Kinney Entertainment), was filmed at several Nashville area locations and ably captured the great “buddy” dynamic between Miller and Byrd. In between barn-based performance shots, there are plenty of scenes that include pickup trucks, guitars and girls. The cast features Meredith Kelley as the female lead, Luke McQueary on guitar, Colman Conley on piano, Jordan Fleming on bass, and Mark Laws on drums. Great music and beer pong at the neighbor’s party are all that are needed to ensure that the “live it large” attitude prevails.
Miller co-wrote the tune with his producer and hit songwriter Jerry Salley, and it is already impacting at both country and Texas radio stations. “The Byrd,” on Billy Jam Records, is available for purchase now. CMT Spotify has added the song to their playlist.
Fans will have the chance to see Alex and Tracy perform “The Byrd” at the Cattaraugus County Fair in Little Valley, New York on July 29th.
