Each year WSIX sponsors the Parade of Pennies concert to benefit the Nashville Rescue Mission.  This year, Randy Houser and Jamey Johnson headlined the benefit concert at the Wildhorse Saloon downtown Nashville.  The special guest of the evening, a very blond Kellie Pickler.

CMT.com has a great blog entry providing a rundown of the evening of entertainment. Randy and Jamey did songs of their own before heading into a string of duets.

Houser and his band returned to the stage, and Johnson finally addressed the audience, saying “If you feel like staying, we’ll all have some drinks and have a good time.” From there, it was a long list of big, baritone duets on Johnson and Houser’s favorite songs by the likes of Johnny Paycheck (“Take This Job and Shove It”), Charlie Daniels (“Long Haired Country Boy”), Merle Haggard (“Ramblin’ Fever”), George Jones (“Who’s Gonna Fill Their Shoes”), Hank Williams Jr. (“Dinosaur”) and Bob Seger (“Turn the Page”).

Then, it was time for their special guest of the evening to make a single-song appearance.

Sporting a large peace symbol on the back of her black jacket and a return to her usual blond hair, she only sang one song, Tammy Wynette’s “Stand by Your Man.”
