Nice to see Marty Stuart and Trace Adkins back at the Opry, even with a mid-week appearance. And Larry, Steve and Rudy continue their string of Opry appearances in 2015.
I went to the grand ole opry on Friday June 12th, sometime between 7:15-7:30ish..as I walking in, I heard a beautiful sad sounding song with a raspyish voice and for the life of me I can't remember the lyrics...would you be able to help me figure it out? I couldn't see who was singing it, buy it was before Pride made his appearance. My email is rocknrodeotack@aol.com ; I'll try to check back here in case you respond . Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt almost sounded like amazing grace's tune but not quite. Raspy like Brantley Gilbert.

ReplyDeleteAnd the Isaacs are good. Otherwise, these look like a lot of long half-hours to me. Can anybody say COUNTRY anymore? Even "stars" like Marty and Trace Adkins are only marginally country in most of their music, in my opinion.
If the EPA wanted to interest itself in a real endangered-species prospect, it would start issuing orders for the protection of country music.
The 7:00 segment was hosted by Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers. After the Jim Ed Brown tribute, they did "The 3 Bells." Mike Snider followed with an instrumental number and then Love and Theft did 2 songs. I did listen but I don't remember. Usually they do "Whiskey on My Breath", which it might have been.
