Three Siouxland friends have proven they are as much “country boy” as singer Alan Jackson.

Clay Ashley, Dan Hair and Mark Trotter entered an internet contest sponsored by the most popular country western singer of the ’90s, in which Jackson invited fans to submit a video that would be incorporated into his hit single, “Country Boy,” from this year’s studio album, Good Time.

The video the guys worked up was one of 10 winners and parts of their video can be seen in the Alan Jackson production online.
