In the new video for “Call Ya Momma” from Justin Townes Earle, the storyline pays homage to Ambrose Bierce’s short story “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge.” Chimesfreedom has already recounted how that story also inspired Alfred Hitchock and Rod Serling (including a classic Twilight Zone episode).
Earle uses the story to illustrate his kiss-off song, where “Goodbye is all we’ve left to say.” “Call Ya Momma” is the advice Earle gives to a former lover, someone who has disappointed the singer. The main character in the video, however, gets even worse treatment. Check out the video.
“Call Ya Momma” is from Justin Townes Earle’s new album Absent Fathers
