Excuse me, you look like … Jamey Johnson?
Ella Langley and Riley Green‘s action-packed, cinematic “You Look Like You Love Me” music video features high drama, period costumes and yes, even a cameo from the “In Color” singer.
The song has always involved a fair bit of getting into character — Langley and Green trade verses that tell a story of two strangers whose paths cross at a bar — so it only makes sense that the two singers let their imaginations run wild in the music video.
Set in an old-fashioned Western saloon, the video follows Langley — an alluring performer — and Green — a cowboy cooling off after a long day’s work — as they come together for a dance.
Just when things seem like they’re headed towards a happy ending, the local sheriff (Jamey Johnson) bursts in holding a “Wanted” poster with Green’s face on it. Turns out, this is no ordinary cowboy: Green’s an outlaw on the run.
Another twist ensues when Green pulls a gun of his own, followed by a number ofother bar patrons, who point their pistols right at Johnson, too. They quickly reach a truce, and Johnson even gets chummy with the outlaws, cutting in for a dance with Langley.
Langley — who co-wrote and co-directed the “You Look Like You Love Me” video — includes the track on her recently-released Hungover album. It’s the album’s lead single, and a Top 10 country radio hit.
