City Girl Gets Fill Of Country Life in Alex Miller’s Video, Don’t Let The Barn Door Hit Ya
Rip-Roaring Take On Young Love Features Super Model and KY Broadcaster Maria Montgomery
The “just this side of slapstick” video opens with Montgomery tappin’ her toes and waiting on Alex to pick her up. After a brief truck ride, the “new gal” arrives at the farm, and is immediately put to work helping ready things for that night’s barn dance. She tussles with too-heavy buckets and awkward pallets – all while navigating in high-heeled sandals. The contrast in the characters is hilarious: Alex is matter of fact and Maria transitions between horror and boredom with appropriately haughty aplomb. Their facial expressions are priceless, with well-timed head shaking and eye rolling aplenty. A Southern meal of fried chicken with all the fixings sends Maria’s character running for the outhouse - where she is forced to fight a sticky door and Alex’s maternal Grandpa Lee Christopher - for relief. “That took seven or eight takes,” Alex notes. “Maria couldn’t quit laughing, but my granddad took it all in stride.” After haranguing and finger shaking over the remains of the meal, it is “peace out” for the beauty as she escapes back to the big city in Alex’s pickup. Performance footage interspersed with the role play mixes the video up nicely, and Miller seems right at home among the sawdust and rough wood floor of the elevated stage.
“Well, the performance looks really natural thanks to Steve,” Alex recalls with a laugh. “But my dad and I both fell setting things up and we got banged around pretty good. You’d think the city girl would take the tumble, but oh no … for a farm boy whose first word was ‘tractor,’ I guess I’m pretty clumsy.” Clumsy, maybe; talented? Heck yeah!
