Marty Stuart

Marty Stuart is a huge name in country music and has been since the late 80s. His music is definitely one of those fantastic crossover blends of music, creating a rockabilly, honky tonk and traditional country sound, that appeals to the masses.

He opens with his huge single “Country Boy Rock and Roll” which immediately gets the audience out of their seats and dancing until the end of the performance. Even for the mid tempo track “Tempted” the audience are in full participation mode, upon their feet and dancing. He closes his first set with his song “Arlene” which was a huge hit for him in 1985, and then is coaxed back onstage by chants of his name to perform an encore. “This One’s Gonna Hurt You” is his final song of the evening. It was also a number 7 hit in the country charts in 1992. It’s good to see that he is still doing what he does best, writing fantastic country music, writing records and touring.

At the Eisenman Theater in Dallas. One of the great singers of our time. Her show was a knockout. I want to see her in concert with a philharmonic--either in Nashville or the Ft. Worth Symphony Orchestra.

Riders in the Sky have been a band since Star Wars IV came out, they have won numerous awards including two Grammys for their efforts and they even provided a soundtrack for “Woody’s Round Up” and “Toy Story 2” and even a short film called “For the Birds”, but can they do it live? Of course they can!

They walk on stage as though they have come straight from the Wild West with their cowboy hats and their general cowboy attire. Complete with the instrumentation of double bass, guitar, fiddle and accordion, complete with their tight harmonies and their musicality, they make a fantastic sound that caters to the masses, and this opening song “Ghost” shows off some of their best chops.

Of course, they treat the audience by playing “Woody’s Roundup” and their version of “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” originally written by Randy Newman, but this crowd goes wild, applauding from start to finish. They have almost forty years of music to play so selecting the right songs must take a while, with each one sounding like a hit.

Mumford and Sons, take notes.
