See the “Takin’ A Ride (feat. Wyatt Durrette)” video now via The Boot, which says, “Mark Bryan and Wyatt Durrette headed to paradise for their new ‘Takin’ A Ride’ music video. The Hootie & the Blowfish co-founder and hit country songwriter are using the clip, premiering exclusively on The Boot, to spotlight hurricane rebuilding efforts in the Bahamas.
 
“Shot in Elbow Cay, Bryan and Durrette’s video finds them hanging at beach bars, napping in hammocks and enjoying the stunning ocean views. The small island was devastated by Hurricane Dorian, a Category 5 hurricane, in September of 2019, and while the ‘Takin’ A Ride’ music video shows off some truly gorgeous scenery, it ends with a focus on the continuing storm recovery efforts, via the Elbow Cay Restoration Association.

“A Little More Rock N Roll” is taken from the new Mark Bryan solo album Midlife Priceless, out now. The lyric video for the song was directed by John Barnhardt, and features VHS footage from 1993 of a pre-fame Hootie & The Blowfish on a road trip to Buffalo, NY for a gig opening for Dread Zeppelin. See the premiere and read more about it at Parade here.
 
It was the first time we ever played Buffalo,” Bryan remembers. “We were opening for Dread Zeppelin, and I’m thinking it was ’93. I know we stopped at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio on the way there. Apparently I was dipping Gold River chewing tobacco at the time, and spitting into an empty milk carton. I remember Dread Zeppelin doing a song that was like, ‘She's a brick... house-es of the holy,’ which I thought was particularly clever, and they did a really cool reggae / Elvis version of ‘Immigrant Song.’”

Mark Bryan | About
 
Midlife Priceless is the title of Hootie & The Blowfish guitarist Mark Bryan’s fourth solo album.
 
It’s also how he rolls.
 
Three years since the release of Bryan’s previous record, a lot has happened: His 20 million-selling, two-time Grammy®-winning band got back together for a sold-out arena tour that meant as much to Bryan as it did to the fans that came out by the tens of thousands.
 
“Wanna Feel Something” is the new album’s first single for a reason.
 
Tonight we ride again
Just like we did back when
We were best friends, and it would never end
 
It’s right there.
 
Mark Bryan is about feeling something and making you feel something. The energy in the buildings around the country that rocked again with the songs that made Hootie one of the biggest-selling acts in music history, is all here on Midlife Priceless.
 
When Bryan gets to the guitar solo on “Wanna Feel Something,” it’s a done deal.
 
The album’s title draws a deep parallel, metaphorically, with a lyric from another of the record’s standout tunes, “Takin’ A Ride,” a duet with Wyatt Durrette, writer of many of the Zac Brown Band’s hits.
 
“Die young as late as you can”
 
It’s a beautiful statement. It’s a mission statement.
 
“That line speaks to the point I am in my life and why I’m still making music,” Bryan says.
 
Even before Hootie got back together to be met with love-filled venues as if it were the 1990’s again, Bryan was living this way. Through good and bad – especially bad – he was connecting with his youth, wonder, curiosity, and joy.
 
As defined, “priceless” is something so precious that its value cannot be determined.
 
A record album has to provide value though, right?
 
One of the reasons that Bryan chose to lead up to the release of Midlife Priceless with a long string of singles is because so many moods and styles are represented. He thought to give ‘em a chance to shine on their own, in a different way than they do as a collection.
 
This might not be an auspicious plan for some artists, but Bryan’s track record dictates that he knows his way around a single, and this approach is another example of how Bryan is living midlife priceless.
 
Midlife Priceless, the fourth solo album by Hootie & The Blowfish guitarist Mark Bryan is out now.
