Texas-based country music band, Eli Young Band (EYB) has the world premiere of new music video for their best selling singles, "Guinevere" via CMT Network on January 4 to ring in the New Year. The Band have had a couple of successful singles on the radio, but this one may become their biggest hit yet."Guinevere" is the fourth single, perhaps the most heartfelt EYB song released from their third album "Jet Black & Jealous," such an intriguing musical property, a 12-song CD that paints even the difficult turns in life with an underlying optimism. The album was released on September 16, 2008 by Universal South, and has accounted for three Top 40 singles on the Billboard country singles charts. They've come a long way from playing in small clubs across Texas, have now become a potent draw in the Southwest to a world premiere video on the home page of CMT.com.
"Guinevere" is not the song I expected the group to release to radio at this point in time, but I'm pleasantly surprised because "Guinevere" is one of the best tracks on "Jet Black & Jealous" and the song paints vivid images of a deeply flawed girl who is always looking for the quick fix to her problems, usually in the form one night stands. The girl's problems really stem from the fact that she 'let her guard down' and allowed a man to 'break her heart' so rather than let love in, this girl continuously searches for unfulfilling romances, just like "Guinevere" instead, all the while holding grudges. The emotionally torn girl in "Guinevere," focus on the future, even when she's uncertain what that future will be.
The EYB's music has all the hallmarks of youth: passion, energy, excitement. Sticking around is a major tenet of the EYB. Those attitudes distinctly mirror the real-life philosophies of the EYB, and their persistence led to new career plateaus. The band's story is the definition of commitment: eight years into the journey, that national target has shifted from a hazy, optimistic dream to a very realistic possibility. Throughout their advances, the EYB has maintained an internal enthusiasm that's easily apparent in "Jet Black & Jealous" album. The album's driving sound and never-say-die lyrical core capture the free-wheeling nature of their concerts, which have built them a solid base of fans.
