With a benediction from good captain Gary Overton (Sony/Nashville Chairman) and hosted by mates Sara Evans, Kellie Pickler and Storme Warren, the 26th General Jackson Show & Dinner Cruise sailed into new musical waters Thursday evening (2/23). Jake Owen opened with “Alone With You,” adding the concert-staple tagline of, “I can’t be your booty call.” “Thanks for changing my life,” he said before performing his first No. 1
“Barefoot Blue Jean Night.”
Newcomers included Tyler Farr performing “Hot Mess” and “Hello Goodbye,” with Kristen Kelly offering “You Love To Make Me Cry” and “Ex-Old Man.” The new Love And Theft punctuated their “Angel Eyes” and “Runaway” performance with a dual-guitarlead- Skynyrd-riff coda from picker/producer Josh Leo and Jason Jordan.
Casey James recalled thanking the boat crowd last year and only now knowing what he was really thanking them for, then played “Let’s Don’t Call It A Night” and “Crying On My Shoulder.” Banter between the hosts was lively, with Warren’s remark about Evans’ combined family drawing spirited response. “We have seven children together,” Evans said. “And I’m very happy to be here tonight.” And later: “We’re starting our own Feed The Children chapter in Birmingham.” Pickler and Evans performed at a satellite stage between main stage sets – “Stop Cheating On Me” and “100 Proof” by the former, and “Suds In The Bucket” and “Anywhere” from the latter. Josh Thompson delivered “I’m Comin’ Around” and “Way Out Here.” Kix Brooks debuted with a driving rock sound on “Let’s Do This Thing” and single “New To This Town.”
