Darius Rucker has released his new single, “Straight to Hell,” a remake of the 1989 Drivin’ ‘N Cryin’ hit, featuring his famous friends Luke Bryan, Charles Kelley of Lady Antebellum and Jason Aldean.
Rucker recorded the song once Kelley talked him into it, and he enlisted even more star power once he decided to take it into the studio when working on his new album, When Was the Last Time.
“It came out in ’89 when I was just playing clubs with Hootie [& the Blowfish]. It was a big song to us. It was a big song to everybody around us,” said Rucker. “It was a big Southern song, and I always thought it was a country song.”
Rucker said he wanted a western theme for the video. To make that come to life, the guys are seen drinking and playing cards, while wearing old-time clothing.
“To say we had fun would be an understatement. One of the first things we were asked, is do you want non-alcoholic beer or beer? We all said beer,” he said. “It’s a day I'll always remember."
Aldean agreed. “I've shot a lot of videos over the years, and that was by far the most fun I've had on a video shoot.”
