Randy Houser’s “We Went” Video Filmed in Cochise County

Part of the video for Randy Houser's “We Went” was filmed in Cochise County just outside of Sierra Vista, Arizona. The crew used Moson Road as a backdrop for much of the sequences shot in the county.

The video stars Randy Houser as “The Good Deed Bandit” and Caitlin Leahy as his sidekick, Sage.

The crew used two other muscle cars in the video, a Camaro and a Mustang, both personal cars that belong to Sheriff Mark Dannels.

The Sheriff's Crown Vic that crashes in the video was donated, and dressed up to look like an official Cochise County Sheriff’s vehicle with decals that were added by the film crew.

In an interview, Sheriff Dannels said the filmmakers originally intended to flip the Crown Vic, but they couldn't get it to flip safely and went with the idea you see in the final cut.

You can listen to the complete interview with Sheriff Dannels as he recounts the days of filming and how the Cochise County Sheriff's office is not only a featured part of the video, there are a few members of the department who made cameo appearances, but on camera and as a voice-over.

Sheriff Dannels also talked about the County Road 44 sign in the video, saying, “They made two signs, and all the band members and everybody there signed both signs. Randy Houser kept one; I kept the other one for our office. It hangs in my office proudly today.”

You can see Tod Linendoll with the Cochise County Sheriff's Office driving one of the vehicles with some of Randy's band members dressed in CCSO uniforms.

At the beginning of the video, you can hear a dispatch voice alerting authorities to the location of the “Good Deed Bandit," which is the voice of Carol Capas, Cochise County Sheriff's Office Public Information Officer.

Other local locations for the video shoots were Casino Del Sol in Tucson and Mt. Lemmon in Tucson.
