Dear Ranky Tanky, Ya’ll Did THAT!
When was the last time you watched a music video that made you smile from start to finish? Now, trust some of us may be a little biased, because Charleston, S.C. is OUR CITY; but there is something about this video that just makes you feel good while watching.
Let’s just say we’ve seen some great musicians and some awesome music videos get birthed in this town; but honey, Ranky Tanky did THAT! What’s that you ask? Ranky Tanky took us through downtown Charleston, they took us to church, they took us to the juke joint, they made us clap our hands and throw them up. We were two-stepping and soul clapping while watching all these familiar faces we see everyday have a good old Lowcountry time. Blacks and whites partying and dancing together, and looking good while doing it!
Ranky Tanky didn’t just give us a music video, they gave us an experience and a feeling. They gave us a good feeling, down home, slap ya momma and cuzzin’ nem, sangin’ good time, work of art!
I know the people in Starbucks think I was crazy because I was smiling and bobbing my head so hard while watching this dope vidoe. Aye Ranky Tanky – ya’ll did THAT! Make sure you all check out the credits to see all the lovely producers and participants that made this happen.
