Gang Of Outlaws Tour: ZZ Top, 3 Doors Down, and Gretchen Wilson

"ALL JACKED UP"  GRETCHEN WILSON

Love the video, Gretchen drinking, getting rowdy, and holding her own with Hank Jr, Kid Rock, even Charlie Daniels at the bar.    Gretchen has such an aura of positive energy, powerful vocals, and her style is unlike any female in country music today.   "I'd Love To Be Your Last" is a hauntingly beautiful love song by Gretchen that I highly recommend checking out!

"LA GRANGE"         ZZ TOP

Love when music genres mix and fans of one style get to experience a new music experience.   Summer 2012 will feature the Gang Of Outlaws Tour featuring ZZ Top (Classic Rock), 3 Doors Down (Modern Rock), and Gretchen Wilson (Country).     They will be coming to St Petersburg as a concert after a Tampa Bays Rays game.  

  

"IT'S NOT MY TIME"   3 DOORS DOWN

Southern boys, 3 Doors Down, bring their Mississippi-bred rock sound to the tour.  The video for  "It's Not My Time" was shot in Cincinnati has a great twist at the end!  I won't spoil the ending but it features an amazing, acrobatic free runner (parkour) doing some death-defying stunts.

Sexy Country Duet: Kenny Chesney with Gretch Wilson, Keith Urban, Stereoside

"TONIGHT I WANNA CRY"            KEITH URBAN

The timing of this song's release hit me harder than ANY song has ever effected me.   Music has the amazing power to transport you to another place, to bring back Vivid memories, to bring you energy when you have none left, to open old wounds, to bring you a ray of sunshine when you're hurting inside.     Thank you Keith for this heart-wrenching song!

"ON OUR OWN"                        STEREOSIDE

From Ocala, FL, Stereoside keeps Southern Rock alive in the last few years.   Their 2011 release is incredible.   Check out "Crazy and Paranoid", "Walk Alone (Back to You)", powerful songs with a HUGE chorus.    The song, "On Our Own" is from their 2nd CD and the first song I heard from the band.   Classic Southern Rock, changes in tempo, headbanging beats, and I love the name dropping of rock superstars, SRV, Elvis, Motley Crue, look for Laura Bush throwing up the devil horns :), Steven Tyler, Johnny Cash, Cinderella, you name it!  

"HURT SO GOOD"            GRETCHEN WILSON & KENNY CHESNEY

Saw them in concert perform this together.    Gretchen was ruling the charts with "Redneck Woman" and she opened for Kenny.     Kenny Chesney knows how to put on a party, beach songs, high energy, sing-a-longs!    When he started singing Mellancamp's Hurt So Good, I was blown away then he introduced Gretchen who came strutting out in her cowboy hat, leather pants, and heels, oh my!    Great duet!!!
