'Talk About the Blues' music video

In late 1998 a music video for the fifth track in the album was released in the MTV channel. The video, directed by Evan Bernard, features movie actors Winona Ryder, Giovanni Ribisi and John C. Reilly as the Blues Explosion, with the actual band members acting in several scenes inspired by classic detective films.[3][4][5]
