Nashville, TN: The Comancheros bring us their next heavy and western “ZZ Top meets outlaw country” music video for their single “If I Could Pick A Way To Go.” “If I Could Pick A Way To Go” is about the passion and drive that the Comancheros feel for their music. If they had one way to go, it would be on-stage performing.

“At that point in my life when the song was written, I was thinking a lot about mortality. I’d lost a family member that I was very close to and all the covid buzz was still in the air. I asked myself how I would choose to die if I got the choice. Well, In a blaze of glory of course. On stage doing what I love most.” – Tanner (guitarist)
The Comancheros retro-style new music video has beautiful cinematography and a sentimental storyline behind it. The video starts with three old men walking into an old dusty bar. They look around, reminiscing on their past. Later in the video, we realize that those three gentlemen are Comancheros in the future. They look around, blowing the dust off of their old accessories and instruments. The music video shifts in time throughout the whole song, while the clips of “young” Comancheros become bitter-sweet memories for the old musicians. As they sing in the song, if they could they would prefer to die on the stage during a show. “If I Could Pick a Way To Go” is a song about the love for music and performing that they deeply feel, and the music video perfectly highlights that even in their old age many years later they would still be down to party and play together.

Richard Young, from The Kentucky Headhunters, says The Comancheros are “ZZ Top goes Star Wars.”
The Comancheros are known for bringing to the stage some of the highest energy performances in the business. They bottled up that fury to produce their first full-length release, “Heavy & Western,” followed by “Too Old to Die Young Now.” Now Richard Young, of the infamous Kentucky Headhunters, produced “Memphis to Mexico.”
Playing non-stop since 2015, they’ve stormed the stage with Randy Rogers, The Cadillac Three, Drake White, The Steel Woods, Alabama, Whiskey Myers, Blackberry Smoke, and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. These experiences have sharpened their spurs and inspired the band to create a sound that exemplifies what it means to be a modern-day cowboy: heavy and western. The band have become regulars on the infamous Whiskey Jam stage in Nashville, and always have the whole crowd headbanging along.
The Comancheros have been highly praised for their last releases, and have been seen on the Raised Rowdy, CMT’s Roundup playlist, The Academy of Country Music’s New Music Friday playlist, and more.
