One of his first jobs was appearing in Alan Jackson’s music video for “Mercury Blues,” but it wasn’t quite what he expected. “<em>The video shoot, it was quite weird</em>,” Keith told <em>AT&T Samsung</em>. “<em>It’s 1994, I’m nobody, ya know, just like this scrawny, long-haired Aussie kid, been in town two years</em>.” Keith was thrilled when he found out that he’d be performing solo with the Georgia native, but when Alan, who Keith says is “<em>famously quiet</em>” came out, Keith didn’t get quite the reception he was expecting. “<em>He never said anything to me</em>,” Keith laughs off. “<em>I kept kinda waiting to introduce myself. He just sorta looked at me, and then, OK, back to the camera</em>.” It took several years for Keith to get the opportunity to actually ‘meet’ Alan, but there are no hard feelings.
