Jake Clayton’s “What Not To Do” Video Premieres
Nashville, TN ( December 10, 2015) -Jake Clayton’s new music video, “What Not To Do,” premieres tomorrow, Friday, December 11 on The Heartland Network at 11 p.m. Central. The clip and its companion “behind-the-scenes” video will air multiple times over the next week; check local listings for broadcast times. “It’s
a song that tells the stories of three separate people, their actions
and the resulting consequences,” explains the talented artist and
multi-instrumentalist. “We wanted a gritty video – and we got it.”
Clayton co-produced the clip with Rob Daniels for Please & Thank You Motion Pictures; Dylan White directed.

Taped
in 115-degree heat, viewers are immediately drawn in with a sense of
urgency, punctuated by blistering fiddle work, dynamic guitars and
heart-pounding drums. While the video is a warning about straying from a
virtuous path, and is based upon real crimes, it is related in a “by
example” fashion and not in a “doom-and-gloom” way. There is nothing
“preachy” about Jake’s high-energy performance or ear-splitting grin,
and both lighten the mood considerably. Split between performance
footage shot in an abandoned barn just outside of Nashville, Tennessee
and entertaining re-enactments taped in Chesapeake and Portsmouth,
Virginia, the video definitely matches the single in intensity.

The radio-active track, a searing up-tempo, was released to Country radio in September. Music News Atlanta states “Clayton is in a league of his own when matched against most of the current young Country artists,” and describes “What Not To Do” as
a “powerful and honest song in the mold of how they used to make ’em.”
The tastemaker adds “Jake’s on-the-money tenor … (is) definitely from
deep Country roots and his delivery is filled with an energy that the
genre hasn’t seen in a while.” The track is from Jake’s current CD, BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON, for Rebel Engine Entertainment.
