Billy Ray Cyrus has partnered with Kentucky rockers Black Stone Cherry on a music video for their beautifully haunting ballad "The Rambler". Cyrus stars in the video as the title character "The Rambler," a drifter who tries to face his past in a simple tale of guilt, heartache, and longing for redemption.

The video was directed by fellow Kentuckian Blake Judd (Shooter Jennings, Blackberry Smoke).

"If you are ready to hear a great band with an incredible song, hit play,” Cyrus said. "I was honored when they asked me to bring 'The Rambler' to life. Make something real? Hell yea. I'm in!”

"The Rambler has been an incredibly special song to us from the beginning and we knew the video had to be equally as special, but not too over dramatic. Simple and effective,” Black Stone Cherry said. "We are honored to have Billy Ray Cyrus as 'The Rambler' in the video, as well as the many amazing actors and team it took to make this story come to life. We hope this special song and video hits a chord with you like it has for us.”
