An early music video directed by Jake Scott that promoted a Glenn Frey song used in the film of his dad Ridley Scott, the iconic "Thelma & Louise". Jake would become a bigger name in the industry making clips for Radiohead, R. E. M. And others, and directed a few movies as well.
This soundtrack clip didn't much efforts as it was simply following Frey playing the song on a similar themed setting as the one featured in the film, and lots of edited clips from the same source. It sells the movie in a lovely way, but also as a fun road movie with plenty of romance rather than the most serious idea of it. Geena Davis, Susan Sarandon , Harvey Keitel, Michael Madsen, Brad Pitt (very briefly) are all there but the clips shown give the impression of a girl buddy comedy, throwing just a little about the thrilling action sequences. The song is alright but doesn't stay with you for too long.
Nice debut clip for Jake, who only improved from here. 7/10.
