NASHVILLE, Tenn. (February 21, 2024) – Country music fans are in for a treat as acclaimed duo War Hippies release an official music video to accompany their stirring rendition of Randy Travis’ timeless classic, “Promises“. The duo’s rendition of this iconic song, originally released 37 years ago, offers a fresh perspective while paying homage to the original masterpiece. Watch the video here!

War Hippies, known for their soulful harmonies and authentic storytelling, have taken on the challenge of reinventing “Promises” with a deep sense of reverence for its origins. Their rendition brings a contemporary twist to the classic tune while preserving its lyrics and heartfelt melody.

The music video, which features dear friends of the duo Randy Travis alongside his wife Mary, brings a deeply personal touch to the video. As a champion of new artists, Travis has embraced the duo since their formation, and their collaboration with the Travis family elevates the song to new heights. Infusing it with an added layer of authenticity and emotional resonance, War Hippies breathe new life into the melody. Their heartfelt interpretation invites listeners to reflect on the complexities of love and the consequences of broken promises.

War Hippies’ cover was originally released in October 2022 as part of the duo’s debut album, War Hippies.
