Kevin Bacon & Jennifer Nettles Drop New Video for ‘Our Highway’

Kevin Bacon and Jennifer Nettles, the stars of Prime Video’s The Bondsman, have released a video for their new duet, “Our Highway.”

The series, which premiered on Prime Video on April 3, stars Bacon as Hub Halloran a bounty hunter brought back from the dead by the Devil to track down escaped demons. While in pursuit of these escaped demons, Hub decides this is the perfect time for a second chance at love with his ex-wife Maryanne Dice (Nettles) — who still has dreams of becoming a country singer in Nashville. This leads to numerous musical numbers scattered throughout the blood-soaked series.

This allowed for Bacon and Nettles to collaborate on a number of songs for the series. It should come at no surprise the two were called upon to show off their musical chops in the series. Nettles is a multi-time CMA and Grammy Award winner with Sugarland. She also had a hit duet with Bon Jovi on the country version of “Who Says You Can’t Go Home.” Meanwhile, since 1994 Kevin Bacon has been performing with his band The Bacon Brothers. Marvel fans will remember his musical turn in the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special.

In a press release Kevin Bacon stated, “Our Highway is the second song that Jennifer and I wrote that is in the show, The Bondsman. Our characters are musicians. It was fun to go back and write songs from my character, Hub Halloran’s point of view when he was a young man. This would be a song that they had written together, when they were first going out. It’s a great driving tune about escaping with the one you love and sticking together. It was a great songwriting exercise but also a great acting exercise.”

Jennifer Nettles also commented: “Nettles weighs in: “Kevin Bacon is a dream collaborator. Everyone knows he’s an iconic storyteller, but his gifts extend far beyond the camera. He shines as a songwriter! We wrote these songs for The Bondsman, but quickly came to realize they stood firmly on their own as a studio project. We had a ball bringing these songs to life in the studio, in the way we heard them as musicians (to live outside of and beyond the show). “Our Highway” is the story of two people heading out on the road in search of a dream. And who knows? We just may head out on the road to share it!!”
