Thanks for posting Cristiano, no problems viewing from my US location either, try again Turner.
As far as the video...meh, didn't do much for me but to each their own. I would have preferred Keith in the studio or even better a montage of Keith home videos!

I knew you had another jab in you Naturalust!
Keith in the studio video was already done for Trouble!
And a montage of Keith home videos? Hmmm...most home movies of other families can be a bit boring imo, but I suppose it might be interesting for a Keith video(?)
But for Love Overdue? How could that fit into the concept of the lyrics?!!! Maybe because it's a reggae tune some home videos from his Jamaican digs might work (after I smoke a spliff),
but still the lyrics wouldn't gel well with images of Keith and his family splashing around a beach and frolicking in the sun.
And besides, the black and white animation looks cool and conveys the lyrics/message quite well - I thought you were all about that kind of artsy fartsy stuff...
Like the album itself, maybe the video will eventually grow on you.
All in good fun of course...to use your old signature: peace.

Wasn't intended to be a jab just an honest opinion, actually watched it twice to make sure I hadn't missed anything, same reaction. meh.
I'm more of a Dr. Suess/Ralph Bakshi kind of guy when it comes to animation. The angular, super simple blank and white just seemed a bit cheap and quick to me. I understand the possible correlation with the lyrics but you gotta go with what you think and feel.
But if you want a jab, here's one.....listen to the song done properly by a real singer. LOL Seriously Keith did a good job with it but I'm surprised he even tried it after the great job Gregory Isaacs did with it. And why did he drop the "Is" from the title, what's up with that? (I'm covering my head for obvious reasons now)

wow. Keith sold nearly 1/3 as many copies as Madonna... I'm surprised. back in the 80s she was as big as the Stones if not bigger.

Yes, and the Stones were as big as the Stones!!

Interesting and good choice, Love Overdue as the new single. Still, I would have preferred Illusion, as I still think it's the most exceptional song on the album.

So then, what will be the 3rd single?
My predictions at this point are as good as anyone else's - it could be any of the above mentioned, could be something else.
Just a Gift maybe? Heartstopper? Or perhaps could be none at all....or Nothing on Me, or Something for Nothing...

I'm surprised there is a second single. I'm going to guess that's it, there won't be a 3rd single.
But if there were to be I'd think Nothing On Me considering having Aaron Neville on it, which would be good cross-hype promotion I would imagine. I wish it was Robbed Blind. Nothing On Me is a great track though.

I'm not a huge Eagles fan or Don Henley,but Cass County is an excellent album. Great songs and really well crafted. Nice to see that Keith's album has sold almost as many copies as the Eagles sell tons here in the US

Yeah thought about that as well regarding Nothing on Me and the cross-hype, and that was my initial thought with Illusion - the Norah Jones connection.
Then someone said Norah Jones has pretty much drifted off the map anyways, so wouldn't make a difference.
I'd say it might give a reboot to her career and bring her back in the public eye if indeed she has drifted away...
and it might do Keith well to have the Norah fans dig into his music.
For some reason, don't see may Norah fans being big fans of Keith, but oh well....

Maybe the big singles map. She has her fan base, tours. She's established and well respected. I'd say that's pretty damn good.
