It took me back to when I first started playing music, and played these types of places every night.<\/p>\n<p>The place we filmed was so small, I had to block half the road just to park my RV out front. It was pretty surreal to know that I\u2019ve gone from trying to make a few bucks at dive bars to shooting a music video at one. I\u2019ll always remember that feeling. <\/p>\n<p><strong>How does the video bring your song to life?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This entire video reflects the lyric \u201csome things just go better when you mix \u2018em with whiskey.\u201d Whether it\u2019s breaking up a fight, celebrating good times, being down in the dumps or just hanging with friends: they all get a little better when you add whiskey. <\/p>\n<p><strong>What message do you hope your fans take away from the video?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It felt good just to get in there and have some fun, be myself and enjoy a little whiskey. Hopefully the fans have a great time watching it and mix up a drink of their own!<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did it feel to see the finished product for the first time?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The experience of making this video was great, from how much Justin Clough [director], and the entire Big Loud team brought me into the creative process, to learning about the behind-the-scenes aspects like editing and visual effects. We worked as a team to make sure everyone was one hundred percent satisfied with it, and I think that shows in the finished product. <\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><em>Songwriters: Ryan Beaver, Rodney Clawson, Andrew DeRoberts, and Adam Hambrick; Director: Justin Clough<\/em> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cmt.com\/news\/1820163\/larry-fleet-finds-his-groove-in-mix-em-with-whiskey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: CMT News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by CMT.com Staff 11m ago Scratched-up records and smoky bars feel like home for Larry Fleet, who just poured his heart into a brand new video, \u201cMix \u2019Em With Whiskey.\u201d A rising country artist with a rich, bluesy voice, Fleet says he was immediately drawn to the soulfulness and groove of the song \u2014 and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-22377","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-music-news"},"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-06-16 20:23:02","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"distributor_meta":false,"distributor_terms":false,"distributor_media":false,"distributor_original_site_name":"KRKY Ski Country","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22377","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22377"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22377\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22377"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22377"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22377"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
