There is an amazing behind the scenes video that Dylan and his team put together that you can check out HERE. Dylan has also made a video for "Don't Close Your Eyes" which you can see HERE.

Dylan grew up with his father, a session and touring musician singing Whitley song all throughout his childhood Dylan says he learned to play guitar and write songs listening to Keith Whitley's music. He also attributes a demo he did of "Between an Old Memory and Me" being the reason he got signed to Curb Records.
