STEEL MULE by Six Mile Grove

I met this band last summer at a small music festival. Their music immediately painted pictures in my imagination and captured my heart. Especially this song, "Steel Mule" written by Lead Singer/songwriter Brandon Sampson, about his 87-year old grandfather who is still an active farmer. After convincing Brandon to allow me to illustrate the song, I spent a day with his grandfather during harvest. This video is the product of that day. Wonderful man, wonderful song.
Six Mile Grove is a 4-piece band from Lyle, Minnesota whose roots and songs run deep in the family farm.

I've heard this song live a bunch of times at the Americana Showcases and heard Brandon tell the story behind it. this video is a great representation of the picture he was building in my mind. Great work!

Brandon Sampson; Your grandfather must be so proud of you. Your video is so well put together - Your music is fullfilling, your voice is calming. You are truly an inspiration. Does anyone know where I can purchase this CD???

Cool song, but great video. Well done.

[@VCPWykoffMN]

great video reminds me of when my great grandpa would come out and run the combine at 90 years old. is the video shot in lyle, MN?

[@horseyfarm37]

hey I have a dairy farm that does 1200 acres of corn and beans and I can relate to Luke Bryan's music especially harvest time

[@drdave97]

You can purchase Six Mile Grove CDs on their website---they are also on iTunes! I'm not allowed to post links here, but website is on the video. And yes, Brandon's grandpa is very proud of him!

@horseyfarm37 Hey--I checked that video out and you're right! Never thought of that...like that video as well...

The best part is when they both say Life 0:57

I crave whiskey ;)

[@Kuntzie1311]

Except this is heart felt music, and actually means something. Luke Bryan doesn't know hard work or leather hands from the belt he wears to nashville.

Wow, what a great song. If you get a chance, come check out my originals. I need a good videographer like yours
