Stacy Burk’s Til Your Boots Are Dirty video features Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Lisa Jay of Dancin’ with the Stars fame. Directed by Dave West, the video was filmed in Thousand Oaks, California at the JMJ Ranch. Dave West came up with the idea of taking a ‘city boy’ to the country and over the course of the song he gets his ‘boots dirty’ and transforms into a ‘country boy.’ West and Burk polished the idea and then brainstormed on how to find a way to have the song and specifically the video to pop through an incredibly crowded landscape. Through his multiple seasons working as a producer on Dancing with the Stars, West befriended Maksim Chmerkovskiy. One call to Maks explaining the story was all he needed to come onboard. “The concept of the video is kind of perfect for me. I’m a very unlikely cowboy, so the transformation was real. And the opportunity to play a role in Stacy’s big comeback is definitely an honor, Maksim said. Van Alystyne, Texas native Stacy Burk’s musical influences are George Strait, Don Williams and Jim Reeves – you can hear that in his voice. He’s a genuine cowboy – you can see that in his confident demeanor. He’s been around the block and is now back after leaving a record deal with Warner Bros. Their plan was to package Stacy as the real singing cowboy, the next big country artist. Unfortunately, all of that had to be left on the table to attend to his ailing mother. Burk walked away from it all, traveled back to Texas and stayed with his mother in her final days. Her passing put his life in perspective and his musical endeavors on hold.
