When The Bellamy Brothers were looking for some talent for their new video for Guilty of the Crime, they looked to Hollywood to fill the spot.
They came up with Kevin Bacon and Shannen Doherty.
"We spent the day in prison, and it was pretty wild," David Bellamy tells The Boot of shooting the video in Memphis' Shelby County Correctional Center. "'Hustle & Flow' was filmed there. They actually shot part of 'Walk The Line' there, too."
Kevin Bacon and his brother are part of The Bacon Brothers band so they're not so surprising, but bad-girl Shannen Doherty? That's a bit more surprising.
"We needed a naughty girl for the cell [scenes]," says David. "It was a great role for her to play. She was perfect. And she's from Memphis oddly enough, which is something we didn't know."
Check out the finished video below and read the rest of The Boot's interview here.
Great sound! Cathy tune. Been singing it for days. Kevin's vocals rock and Michael is so handsome! Thanks to the "Brothers" for the music!

What a fabulous collaboration! Two great pairs of brothers that blend harmoniously together. Each with thier own unique sound but pair together well. Nice work by all involved. I loved watching it over and over!

I love this video and it is great to see the Bellamy Brothers and the Bacon Brothers collaborating on this. I am a huge Bacon Brothers fan and have always liked the Bellamy Brother's too. I hope this is a big hit and that they work together again sometime. I think their styles blend very nicely.
