Country-blues artist Manny Blu recently filmed a music video in Smyrna for “Old Money,” a track from his New Ink album.
The video features a young couple in love moving into a rural house that is not exactly the newest or fanciest place, but “it’s perfect,” as the female character says.
The song “Old Money,” drenched in country flavor and topped with a screaming guitar solo, explores the depth of true love and the idea that love transcends money.
“Seriously, you live like this? You choose to live like this,” the woman’s ex says to her in a dramatic spoken cutaway as he comes to pay her a visit in the house.
However, her love with her current partner is like old money, Blu sings.
Blu, a former MMA fighter hailing from Montreal, says his gravelly, rocking sound draws influences from blues artists like B.B. King and John Mayer in addition to popular and outlaw country music artists.
