Just in time for Halloween, Farce the Music has debuted “When the Blues Come Calling, the new zombie-laden video from Nashville Americana artist Bill Filipiak.
From his just-released album, Medicine I Need, the song is a gritty roadhouse-country stomp that finds the singer-songwriter wrestling with the blues. The video follows suit, as Bill shows off his director/producer chops, using public-domain footage from classic horror film Night of the Living Dead to create a tongue-in-cheek commentary on the relentlessness of depression, as it pursues its victims like zombies.
“Filipiak’s warm and worn vocals and the creeping resonator guitar add to the haunting atmosphere,” writes Farce the Music. “Recommended if you like Ray Wylie Hubbard, Tim Easton & Robert Cray.”
