The new Born Lonesome music video from Cadillac Sky we posted about earlier this month will be featured this afternoon (11/30) on the CMT Pure cable channel.

If your cable provider includes this new music channel in their digital lineup, check them out at 1:45 p.m. (EST).

It’s an eerie, shadowy video – directed by Roger Pistole – that perfectly fits the dark mood of the song. C-Sky’s Bryan Simpson had suggested that several viewings might be required to catch the story being told in the video, and after seeing it just the once, I can readily concur.

The video is also available for viewing on CMT Loaded online.

For the last ten years, the state of Virginia has been without a state song. This proves to be a confusing situation for those in charge of sporting events and public inaugurations. The search for a new song has continually stalled because the delegates involved in the search process can’t seem to find any common ground to agree on when it comes to musical tastes.

The Washington Times is reporting this morning that during a radio interview yesterday in Richmond, a caller asked Gov. Tim Kaine about the situation. The Governor’s response was to say that he preferred to stay out of that debate, joking that he didn’t have thick enough skin to deal with it.

He just couldn’t seem to follow his own advice though, and suggested that his pick for a new state song would be the bluegrass gospel tune Will The Circle Be Unbroken. After offering that suggestion he continued to joke, saying:

I’m sure my popularity will plummet even further after having waded into that.

The anticipated critisism has already begun, with one state legislator suggesting that Kaine’s comments couldn’t be taken seriously because,

he’s from Kansas, so what does he know?
