Thompson's "Wanted Me Gone" goes to video

Friday, July 11, 2014 – Josh Thompson released the music video for his current single "Wanted Me Gone" today exclusively through CMT stable of properties.

CMT, CMT Pure, CMT Artists App and CMT.com are screening the vide with CMT Pure showing it every other hour. here.

The video, directed by Tom Dyer (Rack-N-Roll Audio), was shot at Thompson's house and reflects the light-hearted nature of the single's tongue-in-cheek response to a breakup. Thompson sits idly by in a lawn chair, beer in hand, watching all of his possessions being tossed out the window. No props were used in the making of the video - all the items featured are Thompson's, including a deer target and a wall-mounted fish that he had caught during a trip to Lake Okeechobee.

"I definitely had the most fun I've ever had shooting this video," said Thompson. "It tells the story of the song perfectly, and you can't go wrong with spending the day sitting in a lawn chair with a beer."

"Turn It Up" also features lead single, "Cold Beer With Your Name On It" as well as nine tracks co-written by Thompson.

CD review - Way Out Here On his debut, Josh Thompson shows he is capable of writing songs in his own voice even while sometimes bowing to the wishes of Nashville radio programmers. On his hit, Beer on the Table, Thompson sings of being a hard working everyman who breaks his back all week for the chance to blow off steam with some brews on the weekend. Throw in some banjo laced electric guitar hooks and a sing-along friendly chorus, and you have a radio ready country/pop song. In contrast, You Ain't Seen Country Yet ...
