Joe Nichols shot the music video for his brand new single, "Gimmie That Girl," at Cowboys in San Antonio, TX. Performing before a packed house in the Texas honky tonk, Nichols delivered an energetic performance for his first live concert video, a single that cracked the Top 40 after only three weeks of release. The video can be viewed at both gactv.com and cmt.com.

"There's nothing like performing a song in front of an audience," Nichols said. "The energy is something that's hard to describe. I've wanted to do a live concert music video for a while now, and when we were discussing treatments for this new single, I knew the time was right. If you've never been to one of my concerts, this music video gives you a good idea of what it's like."

"Gimmie That Girl" is the second single from Nichols' critically acclaimed and recently released CD Old Things New. Publications including People Magazine, the Washington Post, Billboard, Country Weekly and USA Today unanimously praise both the artist and this CD as one of the best country albums of the year and Nichols one of country music's most gifted vocalists. In fact, Billboard called Nichols "country music's finest vocalist in at least a generation."

"Gimmie That Girl" was directed by Peter Zavadil. Mega Systems, Inc provided the ENIGMA NET LED lighting rig; PRS provided DGT guitars and Stetson supplied the band's boots.
