HOLLYWOOD (Perfect Music Today) 9\/10\/20\/–Billy F Gibbons, after fifty years fronting ZZ Top, has just joined another trio and they\u2019re female!\u00a0 No need to get worked up about this as ZZ Top continues as it has for the past five plus decades. Billy has just revealed that he\u2019s loaned himself out to Chapel Hart, a new country trio consisting of sisters Danica and Devynn Hart and their cousin Trea Swindle, for a featured role in the video \u201cJesus & Alcohol\u201d their debut single, written by the group.<\/p>\n

In the video, Danica appears as a bride who is stood up by a no-show groom with Devynn and Trea serving as disappointed bridesmaids.\u00a0 Billy\u2019s role is that of the minister on site to officiate at the wedding.\u00a0 \u00a0Contemporary country hitmaker JD Shelburne (\u201cChurch Pew Barstool\u201d) plays an embarrassed would-be best man with Deborah Allen and T. Graham Brown guesting as.. guests.<\/p>\n

Long known as \u201cReverend Willy G.,\u201d Billy plays a man of the cloth in the \u201cJesus and Alcohol\u201d video. As with his recurring role in the hit\u00a0Bones<\/em>\u00a0TV series in which he plays a bearded guitar legend, this role is also playing to type. He has performed numerous — he approximates the total as \u201cat least a dozen and cousin..\u201d \u2013 wedding ceremonies as an ordained minister in the Universal Life Church.\u00a0 Among the weddings at which he\u2019s officiated are country music legend Billy Joe Shaver\u2019s second marriage (out of a total of five) to Wanda Lynn Canady and at the 2008 wedding of rocker Joe Walsh to Marjorie Bach with Walsh and Bach\u2019s brother-in-law Ringo Starr in attendance along with 15 Tibetan monks. One of the most notable marriage ceremonies performed by \u201cThe Rev\u201d took place at a Houston IKEA store when Paul and Patricia Burgess were wed on Valentine\u2019s Day 12 years ago. Gibbons quipped at the time that he was delighted to officiate at a \u201cfully furnished\u201d wedding at which Swedish meatballs were served.<\/p>\n

In the \u201cJesus & Alcohol\u201d video, directed by David Abbott, the Reverend Willy G leaves the bridal party to console himself with a flask stashed in the rectory after the ceremony is called off.\u00a0 Meanwhile, the bride and her friends do the same with a fifth of bourbon until all reunite and receive solace from the bible-thumping and somewhat lubricated Reverend. It\u2019s likely the passage that Gibbons shares with his flock is Proverbs 31:6-7 where it is written<\/p>\n

Give strong drink to the one who is perishing,
\nand wine to those in bitter distress;[<\/sup>
\n\u00a0<\/sup>let them drink and forget their poverty
\nand remember their misery no more<\/em><\/p>\n

Thereafter, a joyous performance of the song with Billy on guitar ensues, presumably the intake of the divine spirt(s) making the matter of the wedding that wasn\u2019t all but forgotten in a wash of good cheer.<\/p>\n

Billy Gibbons says, \u201cI was happy to give the ladies of Chapel Hart my benediction in the video as well as in real life. They\u2019ve got the talent so however unlikely this drive to make it in country music may appear, their ability is self-evident and I\u2019m happy to pitch in and shine a light, so to speak.\u201d<\/p>\n

New Orleans-based Chapel Hart takes its name from Hart\u2019s Chapel Baptist Church in their native Poplarville, Mississippi.\u00a0 Some might think their pursuit of country unlikely with the standard expectation that their music would be R&B-oriented. Trea says they are often asked why they chose country music. \u00a0Her response: \u201cYou don\u2019t really choose it; it was how we grew up and who we are.\u201d She adds, \u201cThere is a lot to deal with being African American and singing country music, even in 2020. Country music is simply just in our hearts.\u201d<\/p>\n

They had been busking in New Orleans\u2019 French Quarter for a time and were taken under the wing of manager Jeff Glixman who serves as, what Billy calls, \u201cthe group\u2019s musical consigliere.\u201d He has produced and\/or mixed albums from artists ranging from Kansas, to Black Sabbath and The Georgia Satellites and has known Billy Gibbons since the early \u201870s.<\/p>\n

Billy adds, \u201cI been thinking about the plotline of \u2018Jesus & Alcohol.\u201d If Danica\u2019s runaway groom ever comes to his senses and asks for a second chance I\u2019m not sure I\u2019d be willing to perform the service.\u00a0 The guy is missing out on someone terrific, not to mention juxtaposition to certain country stardom. I think he\u2019s probably dumb or clueless or both and clearly unworthy of her.\u201d<\/p>\n
