Bellamy Brothers Become Texas Rangers

Posted on by

The Bellamy Brothers Are Now Honorary Texas Rangers. So kids love playing at cowboys and cops and what not, and later on some of those kids actually become sheriffs or police officers or soldiers. Other kids though, grow up to be other things like, I don’t know, country music singers. Well, that is obviously the route The Bellamy Brothers took, but it looks like they get to have it both ways now! The duo has been granted honorary membership into the Former Texas Ranger Foundation that is comprised of retired Texas Rangers. The two have been given official badges, pins and plaques! They first crossed paths with the organization at the foundation’s Silver Star Gala in 2011, and I guess they made an impression. That’s just not something the average person can claim…so kudos to them. They’ve officially fulfilled two very common childhood dreams. While You’re Here…Check Out This Old School Video of “Satin Sheets”! [youtube:www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpIlex5EvYs]

New Miranda Lambert Video Stars Danica Patrick

Miranda Lambert’s New Video for “Fastest Girl In Town” Features Race Car Driver, Danica Patrick! Miranda Lambert is hard at work on the upcoming video for her single, “Fastest Girl In Town” from her latest release Four The Record. As the song title suggests, its the story of a young woman that likes to live on the wilder side of things, and Lambert found the perfect star for her video…NASCAR driver Danica Patrick, who according to GAC Miranda thought really was the best fit! “Danica was the person I thought of immediately when I envisioned the video. We had so much fun playing two bad ass chicks up to no good. Danica has a really busy schedule, and I’m thrilled she was able to take time to come to Tennessee and be a part of this.”-Miranda Lambert Lambert will also be showcasing her acting skills in the video she calls a “mini-movie”. I guess she really did catch the acting bug after her stint on Law & Order: SVU! The video also stars actor W. Earl Brown and is directed by Trey Fanjoy. I love it when artists get so invested in their videos like this! Like Lambert, I always like to think of them as little mini-movies, trying to see what the meaning is or the back story. It looks as if this one, complete with action sequences and all is gonna be pretty entertaining. So, buckle your seat belts country music fans…I think this is gonna be a good video!
