Casey Donahew Band Double Wide Dreams Video

Posted on by

Casey Donahew Band Shows Us How To Live The Dream In Their Music Video! If you don’t know by now, I (HaleighT) am a huge fan of all aspects of Country Music including Red Dirt! This Oklahoma/Texas style has a way of telling life stories that are totally relatable (Brandon Jenkins, Eli Young Band, JB & the Moonshine Band) and I can’t get enough! In this particular song, the Casey Donahew Band speaks of a couple so completely happy with life! Double Wide Dream is obviously a comical tune with a great beat! Since the making of this video, rumors and comments have been flying around the World Wide Web, saying it is offensive OR that it is just trashy. I’m here to say there is nothing offensive about it and for those with the rude comments….well don’t knock it till you try it! The song can be found on their latest album, Double Wide Dream! Yes, it is the title track and first single, but is only 1 of 10 great songs! For my review on the album that was released in the fall of 2011, click HERE! With that being said enjoy the song and watch the video now!!! Get More: Double Wide Dream, Casey Donahew Band, Casey Donahew Band Videos
