PRE-ORDER OR PRE-SAVE Jackson Dean – Live at the Ryman (available 4/14)
Jackson Dean’s new video for his latest single, “Fearless,” is premiering today on CMT. When he thought about bringing the song to life on the small screen, he knew he wanted it to have an old western feel to it, and he knew he wanted his brother Kyle and his family to star in the video.
Jackson Dean – Fearless video family :55
“Shooting ‘Fearless,’ tellin’ the story of what I wanted the message of this to be, was not just a guy and a girl. I knew I wanted to use my brother and my sister-in-law and my niece to tell that story, because what else is greater there to fight for than your family? I can’t think of many other things. And havin’ them here, I don’t think it would’ve meant as much as it does to me now if it wasn’t them in it. Because I knew them embracing and all the close-ups of them was gonna be genuine, and it was gonna be real, and it was a real family. You know, Kyle, being fearless for them. And I knew I wanted it to be my brother. My brother’s a bad ass, and like myself he feels pretty at home outdoors. When I first proposed the idea to him, he was like, ‘Are we talkin’ like in a studio?’ I was like, ‘No, we’re talkin’ like Last of the Mohicans and Apocalypto kinda stuff.’ And he was like, ‘Yes.’ I was like, ‘Bro, we’re gonna go shoot a little western.’ And he was like, ‘Okay, man! Let’s go!’”
Watch the video for “Fearless” exclusively on CMT until 4pm CT today, when it will be available everywhere.
