Tursi's "Church Bells and Train Whistles" goes to video
Tuesday, October 15, 2024 – Old Dominion guitarist Brad Tursi released a black-and-white video for "Church Bells and Train Whistles."
The song was on Tursi's solo disc, "Parallel Love."
Shot in grainy black and white, the video contains the blur of travel and the isolation of a hotel.
"When it was time to make a video, I wanted something the gave people room to see their own story, too," Tursi said. "I wanted it to be something evocative, something even with the sound down, you'd be drawn to watch it. I love the juxtaposition, the use of motion and the idea we are all so many things."
"That's the thing about who I am," Tursi said, "I am at my core pretty simple, but very much wanting to see the world. I wrote the song trying to explain myself to myself and the people who love me. It's a lot. It's pretty basic. Because it all adds up."

There are two ways to listen to Old Dominion's music. You can simply enjoy it for the feel, the lyrics, the beat...or you can study it as a master class in contemporary country songwriting and record production. Either way you're in for a treat, especially on this eight-song EP "Memory Lane." Hooks, harmonies, rhythms and feel-good images are everywhere here.
Old Dominion (name chosen because four band members are from Virginia) originally formed to highlight songs that the ...
Old Dominion has gained a following on the heels of two albums of lively material. Their self-titled third release stays the course and delivers a dozen radio-friendly songs. The hyper positive lead single "Make it Sweet" sets the stage with an ode to the brighter side of everything. Most tracks are upbeat but, ironically, there is not an official party anthem or even a drinking song. The closest they get is "American Style," which is laden with standard innocent imagery ...
Right off the bat, the title of Old Dominion's album "Happy Endings" is far better than "Meat and Candy," its prior effort. ("Meat" in an album title? Really?) But also on an artistic level, OD's follow-up shows signs of growth.
With that said, though, there's nothing on this new release as immediately catchy as "Snapback." Nevertheless, the vocal-only harmonies introducing "Not Everything's About You," are a beautiful thing. ...
