Music Video Monday just wants to love you.
Robert Allen Parker’s new album The River’s Invitation has already spawned one great music video, for his psychedelicized cover of the Chubby Checker deep cut “My Mind Comes From A High Place.” Director Kim Bledsoe Lloyd says the second clip “Some 1 2 Love,” which she directed, is not a cover. “The song is stellar — one of Rob’s original classics. I hope the video does it justice.”
Yubu Kazungu and Candice Ivory provide the vocals for this heartfelt rocker, and the video features appearances by keyboardist Kennard Farmer and drummer Donnon Johnson. Lloyd says the video was “shot both at Easley-Faust studio and on the streets of Memphis during COVID shutdown. It was super eerie, plus one of the windiest nights. We couldn’t have asked for a better vibe.”
Take a look, then head over to Bandcamp for your copy of the record.
