Gene Watson & The Bellamy Brothers Record Video For Their Song ‘Forever Ain’t Long Enough’

Bellamy Brothers (Howard & David Bellamy) and Gene Watson

On Friday 8 December 2023, Gene Watson enjoyed shooting a video with the legendary, Bellamy Brothers (David and Howard), in Columbia, Tennessee.

‘I had a great time shooting a video with the legendary, Bellamy Brothers.

David and Howard had asked me to record their song, ‘Forever Ain’t Long Enough’ (written by David Bellamy), which I did a few months back, and we just got the video shot on Friday.

The Homestead at Hardison Mill, 4765 Hardison Mill Road, Columbia, TN 38401

The video location was Rory Feek’s great place, Homestead Hall in Columbia, Tennessee.

Rory has made the place even more spectacular since I was there, when we filmed The Gene & Moe Show at that location.

A shout-out to Marcy Jo for the delicious breakfast and lunch.

David Bellamy

David Bellamy expects the song, and the video, to be available sometime in mid-to-late January 2024, and promises to let us know exact details when he has it, so I can let you know.

I guarantee you’ll like it – it’s real country music and, with those incredible harmonies from David and Howard, it’s something special.

If you look closely at one of the background singers, the pretty redhead, you may recognise Lisa Layne, who is married to our steel player, Boo Miller.

Lisa and I were both on The Grand Ole Opry on Friday night (8 December 2023), so we had a very full day with a lot of good country music.
