Hot Country Knights Revive the ’90s in ‘Pick Her Up’ Video

The Hot Country Knights put their love of the ’90s on full blast in the video for “Pick Her Up” (featuring Travis Tritt), their first single since scoring a 30-years-in-the-making record deal.

Starring Saved By the Bell’s Tiffany Thiessen and featuring ’90s icon Tritt, the mullet-rocking clip includes plenty of skin-tight jeans and wrap-around shades, as the band’s Doug Douglason helps a total zero transform into a pre-Y2K hero. Directed by Wes Edwards and delivered with a tongue buried deep in country’s proverbial cheek, it’s the perfect neon-colored introduction to a band that’s all about taking country back to it’s glory days.

“Travis Tritt is our longtime spirit animal and we have spent many a long night in the back of the van dreaming of working with or maybe even FOR Tiffani,” Douglason says in a statement. “When [Universal Music Group] finally came around and signed us … they were two of our demands for the music video.”

Without Hot Country Knights, you would have never heard of Jerks Gentley. Sorry about that. Now 20-some years later, he’s helping us get OUR shot…NOT THAT WE NEEDED HIS HELP…but if we did need some help (WHICH WE DON’T) it would involve a soon-to-be smash hit featuring @realtravistritt and an upcoming album.

Co-written and produced by Dierks Bentley with Jim Beavers and Brett Beavers, the track is built on the bright, blaring guitar riffs and high energy fiddles of live ’90s country — a sound the Knights took to fans on the road last year with Bentley’s Burning Man Tour. “Pick Her Up” is just the first taste of the Knight’s long-awaited album debut, so stay tuned for more!
