It\u2019s about what it means as a man to really love a woman, and in the spirit of the great American romance, love her the way she really wants to be loved. I didn\u2019t see them growing up, but I\u2019ve always loved those old, big screen-Clint Eastwood westerns.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery man wants to be Clint,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Hard to deny that statement, really, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n<p>For the single\u2019s video, which is celebrating its world premiere with CMT, the singer-songwriter kept the focus primarily on the music.<\/p>\n<div class=\"deferred_content\">Embedded from <a href=\"http:\/\/media.mtvnservices.com\/embed\/mgid:arc:video:cmt.com:10e3232b-c835-4d32-a600-a64bb254919b\">media.mtvnservices.com<\/a>. <noscript class=\"deferred_content\" data-deferred-info=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;iframe&quot;}\"> <\/noscript><\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe shot the \u2019Eastwood\u2019 video in two locations, one in downtown and East Nashville on the train tracks,\u201d he said. \u201cThe second we actually shot in the studio where I recorded all my vocals for the album. So the video actually gives everyone an inside look at where we made the music.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And for Ducas, this collection of songs, titled <em>Yellow Rose Motel<\/em>, is crucial to his artistry. It\u2019s the music that truly defines his sound and will serve as a launchpad for the coming seasons of his career.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Yellow \u2028Rose Motel<\/em>, is kind of that \u2028place \u2028you\u2019d imagine, just off the interstate exit, \u2028on a highway journey that\u2019s filled with all of life\u2019s experiences: \u2028love, hope, regret, loneliness, \u2028laughter, even sarcasm. The first three songs are digitally released, as <em>Yellow Rose Motel, Volume One<\/em>. We\u2019re releasing the album digitally first, in four volumes, so there\u2019s new music coming continuously throughout the year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope and believe that for a lot of music listeners, there\u2019s still some value in the music being genuine,\u201d he said. \u201cFor me, a large part of that comes from writing the songs. I\u2019m really excited about this album. It\u2019s an open book, my most honest effort to date \u2013 it\u2019s got it all. Love, hope, caution to the wind, loneliness, regret, gratitude, even a little bit of sarcasm \u2013 with a backdrop of the pursuit of great American romance.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n<div class=\"description\">Samantha is a country radio insider with a deep love for the music and its stars.
