Rascal Flatts and Trace Adkins Turn the Grand Ole Opry into a Dance Party

  

The lineup for the Grand Ole Opry was FANTASTIC last night.  From start to finish it was an exceptional show.  Little Jimmy Dickens started the night off and got the crowd giggling with jokes that can only be told by Little Jimmy. 

 

Also giving stellar performances last night were Brett Eldredge, Edens Edge, Heidi Newfield and Larry Gatlin. 

The party got started when Trace Adkins took the stage for a 30 minute set that got fans out of their seats rockin along to “Ladies Love Country Boys”, “Just Fishin”and other songs from his new album “Proud to be Here.”    I met a couple who drove from New York just to see Trace perform at the legendary Opry.  Trace was nice enough to sign a  cowboy hat for them before ending his set. 

For those of you who think the Grand Ole Opry isn’t as fun as a high end tour stop for Rascal Flatts.  You were proved WRONG last night.  Rascal Flatts took the stage for the final half hour of the show and there wasn’t a person there who wasn’t out of their seats singing along to every word.  

If you can’t make it to Nashville to visit the Grand Ole Opry in person don’t forget there are other ways to get the experience.

And the Poet’s Award goes to Tom T. Hall and Hank Cochran.

“Country Strong” has been chosen for the Academy of Country Music’s Tex Ritter Award. It goes to a movie that features or uses country music. The ACM singles out the storyline. And it praises the movie’s four leads for their “strong performances” on the soundtrack: Gwyneth Paltrow, Tim McGraw, Garrett Hedlund and Leighton Meester.
