Diamond Rio – Bubba Hyde (1995)
Directed by: Deaton-Flanigen Productions Monty Powell, Tim DuBois
Bubba Hyde is a lively country track by Diamond Rio, released on February 6, 1995, as the third single from their platinum-certified album *Love a Little Stronger*. Written by Gene Nelson and Craig Wiseman, the song narrates the double life of Barney Jekyll, a mild-mannered grocery store employee who transforms into the flamboyant “Bubba Hyde” on Friday nights. The accompanying music video, directed by Deaton-Flanigen Productions, features actor Jim J. Bullock portraying the dual roles, adding a humorous visual element that complements the song’s playful narrative. The track reached No. 16 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.
