The Ravenna Colt is the solo project by Johnny Quaid, a founding member of My Morning Jacket who performed on the band’s first three albums, “The Tennessee Fire,” “At Dawn” and “It Still Moves,” as well as countless EPs.
The video for “South Of Ohio” was shot this past July in Oldham County, Ky., by William Wallace using a on a Canon 5D Mark II.
“Johnny and I met a few times last spring to discuss the song and from those conversations I really got a sense that this song was about a journey and personal growth at it’s core,” Wallace said. “I really tried to approach the shoot from an outsider watching with that viewpoint. I wanted it to be as organic and as voyeuristic as possible to give a feel of viewing an unforced self-exploration process. The old man kind of represents a ‘guide,’ if you will.”
For nearly a decade, Wallace has worked on commercials, reality shows and big budget films, including a concept video for Ben Sollee and Daniel Martin Moore. Wallace is on his way to southern Sudan for the third time to shoot an forthcoming picture, “Grace Surpasses.”
“Slight Spell” is for sale on LP w/ free download at Karate Body’s webstore. Digital version is available from Removador.
