OK, it’s the least likely music video ever, but the sight of David Olney surrounded by mini-skirted dancers while he sings a Nancy Sinatra hit is pretty irresistible.
Lee Hazelwood wrote “Boots,” so it’s not a stretch for Olney to channel Hazelwood’s rough-hewn voice here. It’s goofy and we like it.
In other Olney news, the fine singer-songwriter did an interesting interview with F. Daniel Kent.
An excerpt about Olney’s move to Nashville: “At the time the Outlaw country was what was going on. It was a pretty wide open scene. The guy who was the model for everyone was Guy Clark because he had gotten the record deal. He was this guy that you could run into. He seemed to be in the same business that you were in. Guy has done a lot of great things, but for me in the beginning he set such a decent and very high standard for what was a good song.”
