I know that Goodbye is all we have is still in the top ten on the CMT Top Twenty Countdown. But I was wondering what everyone thought the next single and video should be. My pick is If I didn't know any Better, I think the imagery in that song could make a really powerful video. magazine.angrycountry.com/article.php?story=20051025145038279In the article Rick Schroder (Whiskey Lullaby) said that he has sent a video treatment to Alison. It doesn't say which song. Most likely her next video will be directed by Rocky Schenck, he has done every Alison/AKUS video since Maybe. |

I saw that too today Nancy, and I have no idea why the video would move that way.. from 9 to 14 within a week, when it hasn't gotten any further than 9. That makes absolutely no sense to me.
I know that some may disagree, but I just wonder if Alison would have a different director for AKUS' next single. I know Rocky has been her director for a long while, and will probably be for a long time to come, but I would just like to see AKUS in a different way. I've gotten kind of used to the Rocky video pattern, and I just think it would be great for them to get away from the norm. As far as what song I think would make a great single, I agree with what you said Jason. I LOVE the song IIDKAB, and I think it could be a magnificant video and would draw in a lot of new listeners.

Yeah i sort of agree Akusgal. I think we both no why it'd be nice to see something different again (*walking* cough). LoL, j/p. But seriously i would LOVE to see IIDKAB as the next single! I don't really know what else it would be. I mean, i've heard some talk about A Living Prayer being the next single but who knows!

"I think we both no why it'd be nice to see something different again (*walking* cough). LoL, j/p."
Care to elaborate on that?
I agree, Crazy As Me should be the next video- although I wish we'd get one for every last song on that album!
I love the Schenk videos because of their delicate use of southern imagery. That said, I also wouldn't mind seeing a different style for the next one. AKUS's music is so organic, so the nature element in their videos is so important. It would be fun to see that element be the mountains. AKUS is the perfect music to listen to here in the mountains of Utah. I'd love to see a video shot here or somewhere like here.
I'm sure the next video will be excellent, whatever it is and whoever produces/directs it. The one thing I would hate, though, is one of those live performance or collage of live performances and "behind-the-scenes" goofing off videos. Those are always cop-out videos.

Like ETYSG, I was pretty disappointed in that video. Granted they had already done a video for that song back in 92, but still.
Speaking of mountains in videos, Alison shot heartstrings in Colorado in the mountains. That was one of the most storyline type videos that she has had. I too would like to see something other then Alison walking somewhere which tends to happen in all of the Rocky videos. Alison walking in the woods, Alison walking in New Orleans, Alison walking down random dirt road, Alison walking away from her car with the door open and the blinker on, Alison walking down a pier, Alison walking through a bar, Alison walking in her mansion/porn set (the video location for maybe is also used for adult movies and was once a mental institution) Pretty much all of the videos he has shot for her.

Well Jason you just described what i meant about my walking comment! The first time i saw GIAWH and i saw alison walking down the street, i was like oh gosh here we go again! Besides thay i love all there videos though although i would love to see something new.
Also i never saw that video that was shot in the mountains you were talking about. I was just wondering what the storyline of it was?

As they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it... AKUS should "stay" w Schenk...

Although Schenk really does do a beautiful job with AKUS' videos with scenery and all of that, I think it would be more interesting to see Alison do something other than walk around singing and looking pretty. I don't really think all of this is 'broke', I just think their are many people that would like to see something different in the videos.

In the Heartstring video it shows Alison and her husband/boyfriend? going to a cabin "way up north where the snow flies and the sun don't hardly shine." I think they are moving there, and he works outside and she sings out the window. They get in a snowball fight and dance by the fire. On face the music she said that they made her get an older love interest because she was so young and they didn't want her to have a young boyfriend in the video. So the guy was like twice her age.
The face the music where Alison talks about her videos was probably the best AK moments ever. I still laugh when I think about her talking about "passing gas" on a costumer on her Steel Rails video. She talked about dancing in the LITEOL video and her breasts in the LO video. It was HILARIOUS.

That sounds like such a great video, much different than her more recent ones. Does anyone know of a way I could possibly watch it online or anything? J/w. I've never seen the face the music thing you were talking about, Jason. Was it made a while back? I've been to one website where it has really hilarious quotes from Alison on it, and they are SOO funny!! I think all the ones you mentioned were on there. Thanks for sharing all the info about the video.

OMG, I need to see this Face the Music thing! Where is it available? I've said it before and I'll say it again...I want a DVD of all the videos AKUS has shot. We need to appeal to whoever is in charge of that lol. I'll even sign a contract promising that I'll buy it if they'll make it  . Anyway, my opinion on a new video....I'd LOVE to see a video for IIDKAB, but I don't really know how marketable a song like that is. It's probably my favorite on LRBW, though. And I totally agree that a video could be beautiful. But just judging from the types of songs they usually release as singles my *guess* would be either Crazy As Me or Gravity...I lean more toward Gravity (haha, little pun there) because CAM is a remake. I personally LOVE their videos and think they are visually stunning, but I would like to see a change of pace and I think Ricky Shroeder would be a good choice. Whiskey Lullaby was really successful afterall. And Bonneville...I think an Appalachian Mountain setting would be better than Utah  lol. Stacy |
