Watch Jesse James Dupree’s Cinematic Music Video for ‘Stranded’

Following the music video for “Never Gets Old” – the first single from his latest solo record Breathe fire, co-written with AC/DC’s Brian Johnson — Jesse James Dupree has unveiled another visual accompaniment, this time with the cinematic epic for “Stranded.” You can watch the brand new music video at the bottom of this story.

Located in the Black Hills of South Dakota, not far from Full Throttle Saloon, the world’s largest biker bar, ‘Stranded’ is a nod to classic Western films that captures the beauty of those historic plains. Filmed by Tristan Barnardthe video creates an experience that lives up to the uniqueness of the song itself.

“The way this song specifically came together in the studio is bizarre,” Dupree said in a statement announcing the release of the “Stranded” music video.

“I had a vision of where I wanted to go with it and threw myself at the universe. What happened was beyond anything I envisioned being created.”

Likewise, when Dupree and Barnard started filming the video, the universe seemed to be in control.

From the herd of buffalo that Dupree seemed to summon to the bar scenes in Deadwood, SD, which were filmed where Wild Bill Hickock was shot and killed while playing poker in 1876, almost every scene came together organically.

As Dupree put it, “Sometimes not planning everything is the best approach you can ever find.”

How AC/DC inspired Jesse James Dupree’s latest solo album

It is not surprising that even the creation of Breathe fire was somewhat unplanned.

One night Dupree was in an AC/DC state of mind and listened to it High voltage twice from front to back, then he went to Highway to hell and then Back in black. The next day he thought he was humming an AC/DC song in his head, but when he tried to find it on an album, he couldn’t.

“I didn’t find it,” Dupree told Chuck Armstrong Loudwire nights last year. “I realized I had just been inspired. So I picked up my guitar and started figuring out what I was hearing in my head.”
