Jimmy!

My wife thinks that I am on the concert circuit or I'm a loader for all of the Grizzly Rose concert series. She has a good inclination to think that since I have been there 3 times in about five days. First it was Rodney Atkins...then Jason Michael Carroll, and finally Jimmy Wayne.

This is actually one show that I was really looking forward to just because I saw him acoustic at the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame a few months a go and this time around he had a full band. The last show was kind of a country edition of VH1 Storytellers so I wanted to see if he had the entertainer chops to pull of the full show. And normally when I really look forward to something i walk away and go wow what was I thinking or pondering that the show was good but didn't meet my internal expectation. But this time I was quite impressed in the show and his showmanship.

His vocals were absolutely flawless and he has one of the best fiddle and bass players of recent memory. Those guys can play! Jimmy did most of his hits between his two CD releases. I was quite impressed that he kept the Storytelling element in for the full show and at the last show learned alot about his background and this one I found out even more. And knowing that I very much respect him as a person and a quality country artist.

So you if you have a chance to check him out no matter the price may it be acoustic or full band. DO IT. You will not be disappointed. And I know I say that about alot of shows but this one I mean it. As you will see with the videos above that somehow ended up on my camera ....(hmmmm..I have no idea how : ) ) I hope he is around for a long time!
