It is said that music can only be good as the musician himself and Billy Jeter is one such artist whose music reflects his personality and it can easily be described as one the best creations. Taking folk rock as his medium of a genre, he communicates with the world through it. Unlike other artists who talk about the goodness of life and create videos on celebrating it, Billy Jeter focuses on the harsh realities and intrudes the audience to the harsh realities of life. His latest video clip ‘Sundown Town’ does exactly so. Taken from the album ‘House on Fire’ focuses on the harsh realities that African -American community have to face in their life even today. Taking influences from artists like Robbie Robertson, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, The Grateful Dead and Rodney Crowell, he brings forward a style quite refreshing.
The video ‘Sundown Town’ kicks start with the countryside and the artist Billy Jeter playing on his guitar. As the video progress certain images of racism shoes the problem that many black people are dealing with even in this 21st century. The countryside Sundown Town is the place that has been focused in this video and it is the same town this video is titled after. The ambience of the track is in perfect blend with the soundscape of the video ‘Sundown Town’. The rhythmic vibes that are incorporated in the video are intense while the lyricism brings out the gravity of the subject matter used in the video. Throughout the video, Billy Jeter wanted to motive the people into being strong and standing their ground. You can follow the artist through Twitter and Facebook.
