The first music video from Sam Bush’s new CD, Laps In Seven on Sugar Hill, has been released for online viewing. It is for the song The River’s Gonna Run, a duet with Emmy Lou Harris.

You can watch the video on CMT.com, or for folks who have difficulty using CMT’s video viewer (like any Mac users), it has also been posted on YouTube, and on Sugar Hill’s MySpace page.

No word yet on when or whether it will be featured on CMT’s cable television programming, but we’ll report whatever we hear from Sugar Hill on that front.

UPDATE 4:22 p.m.: We just heard back from Sugar Hill that the Bush video is in rotation on CMT’s Wide Open Country, and The Edge Of Country on GAC. It is also running on CMT Pure.

The video was directed by Traci Goudie, whose credits include videos for Merle Haggard, Patty Loveless, Marty Stuart, Patty Griffin, and Kelly Willis. It was shot on location at Marathon Village in Nashville – the home of Tennessee’s first and only automobile, the Marathon of Marathon Motor Works.
