Jason Jones Fares Well With "Ferris Wheel"
As a new country artist, Jason Jones has played more than a few fairs and festivals this summer. Luckily, it's the perfect backdrop for his new single, "Ferris Wheel.""I fell in love with it the first time I listened to it," he says. "It reminded me of when I was a kid growing up in north Florida. Every year, the fair was our big thing we looked forward to in the fall."
"All my time I spent washing my dad's 18-wheelers or mowing the grass and making a little bit of money, I was saving it all up to blow it all at the fair. You can't really do that as a grown-up. Hearing the song just triggered those memories. ... I could remember all that stuff -- sounds and smells, flirting with girls, showing off for your buddies. I fell in love with it right away."
During a friendly chat at his record label, Warner Bros. Nashville, Jones talked about his first video, his initial days in Nashville and his natural approach to being a nice guy.
CMT: What do you remember most about filming the video for "Ferris Wheel"?
Jones: Pretty much everything, really. It was my first time making a video. It was an amazing day. I'd say probably riding the Ferris wheel stands out in my mind a lot because I was on it for an hour and a-half! (laughs) ... I think they were trying to get it in time with the song. I couldn't tell because I couldn't hear what they were saying down there, but that's what I gathered. ... It was cool, though -- a great view, an awesome amusement park and a really fun day overall.
Where was the camera while you were on the ride?
They did some shots from down there on the ground, and there was another time where the girl and I were in the cart and [the cameraman] got in the one in front of us. ... Another time, all three of us got in the cart, and the camera was right on our faces, like "Just act natural! Don't mind me!" And the most awkward thing for me, too, was that the girl's face was just a couple of inches away, and I had to sing in her face over and over and over again. It was kind of funny, and she took it well.
Is your hometown, Wakulla Station, Fla., pretty small?
Yeah, it's kind of small. It's a big county, and everything's kind of spread out. I loved it down there. Everybody else in high school couldn't wait to move away, but I never really wanted to move away. I liked it there.
