Johnson, who served as the video’s executive producer, developed the concept for the cutting-edge video that depicts him giving advice to his younger self. Joel Robertson directed the video that was shot in Nashville.
“The idea behind the video is if I could go back and meet the younger version of me, what would I say?” Johnson says. “Or would I?”
The video uses a mixture of AI technology and post-editing effects to feature Johnson both as a young man and as he is today. The video features many aspects of Jamey’s real life, such as his beloved guitar, Ole Maple, the 1986 Dodge truck he owned when driving to Nashville for the first time, and the clothes he wore in the music video for “The Dollar.”
Midnight Gasoline is also the first of his Cash Cabin Series — a collection of albums recorded at the famed studio in Hendersonville, TN, owned by Johnny and June Carter Cash and now owned by their son, John Carter Cash.
Johnson’s co-writers on this album include Jim “Moose” Brown, Dallas Davidson, Chris Stapleton, Randy Houser, and many others.
