MULTI-PLATINUM Country artist Morgan Wallen tributes the memory we can’t drink away in a brand-new performance video, releasing “865” as the latest installment of The Dangerous Sessions today (10/19). The video drop marks the first of six soon-to-be released videos continuing Wallen's original acclaimed series.

Directed by Justin Clough and filmed in his hometown of Knoxville, Tennessee, the clip finds Wallen putting a nostalgic sweetness on his celebrated sandpaper vocal and stripping down “865” to capture the emptiness of a broken heart.

Written by John Byron and Blake Pendergrass, the vivid track is part of Wallen’s record-smashing Dangerous: The Double Album, and now joins others such as “Sand In My Boots,” “Wasted on You” and more from his ongoing The Dangerous Sessions performance series.

Meanwhile, Dangerous: The Double Album is nominated for Album of the Year at the upcoming 55th Annual CMA Awards
