Rikki and Daz feat. Glen Campbell - Rhinestone Cowboy

Music video for Rhinestone Cowboy (Giddy Up Giddy Up) by Rikki & Daz featuring the legendary Glen Campbell.

Yes, it's UK Eurovision star Daz Sampson and his songwriting partner John Matthews in a previous incarnation which made it into the UK top 10, thanks largely to the support of BBC radio presenter Chris Moyles who made it his record of the week. Indeed, he declared the whole week "Rhinestone Cowboy Week" in an effort to get it to number one but alas it was not to be.

How Daz got Glen to agree to take part in this project is one of the small wonders of the world that make Daz the legend he is today. This video has a lot of stories attached to it, but it's more than my career is worth to disclose them right now...

This is one of 3 videos I shot in Arizona in 2002, and the first video I shot at Goldfield Mining Town, just outside Phoenix, below the Superstitious Mountains.

Thanks to Big Bob Shoos at Goldfield and also to the Mojave Muleskinners and Goldfield Gunslingers for their invaluable help.

Production by Julie Cooke at VuWest, shot by Tom Pridham, and choreographed by Curt Anthon.
