<\/a>First let me start with the Smart Financial Centre. As always, they have laid out a beautiful facility. The sound in the venue is incredible. That is if the sound engineer the artists brings knows his stuff and the sound man with Trisha Yearwood knows exactly what he\u2019s doing.<\/p>\nThe show started with Caylee Hammock. Accompanied by a guitarist who handled the backup vocals as well. Cayllee is a talker, she\u2019s a story teller and she\u2019s an energetic artist with a fantastic voice.<\/p>\n
Trisha is a very interesting artist. It\u2019s difficult for an artist that has a hit factory career and then take, well, basically a ten year vacation, then return to the studio and stage to find no one has forgotten them. Trisha\u2019s fans know she didn\u2019t really take a vacation. She has a successful cooking show on The Food Network along with several cookbooks.<\/p>\n
\u201cA Perfect Love\u201d was the perfect song to open her show. Straight down the middle, not too slow and not too fast. As a musician myself, I knew from the intro it was going sound awesome. Trisha likes to make fun of herself. For instance, she let everyone know early on she has always leaned towards ballads, therefore she has to spread out her rocked up country material throughout the show so the show doesn\u2019t bog down the energy in the room.<\/p>\n
After picking it up with X\u2019s and O\u2019s, Trisha slowed it down showing off the sweet side of her vocal capabilities with \u201cGeorgia Rain\u201d. She went on to dazzle her fans with \u201cThinking About You\u201d and \u201cWrong Side of Memphis\u201d which happens to be one of my favorites.<\/p>\n
I wasn\u2019t aware Trisha had a thing for Frank Sinatra. Ha, musically that is. She recently recorded an album of just that. We went from Trisha Yearwood hits to Sinatra hits. If you\u2019r a fan of the \u201cBig Band\u201d era, it was your lucky night. She covered a few of Frank\u2019s songs like \u201cCome Fly With Me\u201d and \u201cOne For My Baby\u201d. Not my cup of tea but done very well by the band for not having any horns and have the number of musicians Frank carried with him. Her voice was very convincing as the story teller as well.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Then we came to \u2018Walk Away Joe\u201d. Another one of her major hits. I have alway been a forgiving fan when an artist loses track of the lyrics because, I\u2019ve been there and done it. I have also been very impressed by the way an artist recovers from their mistakes. One piece of information I haven\u2019t shared with you yet is Trisha was going through the\u201d Life\u2019s Cycle\u201d changes while pouring her heart into the music, leaning over at one point letting the fan cool her down while blowing her hair wildly in every direction. We loved it!. During \u201cWalk Away Joe\u201d she struggled with the lyrics until she stopped the band, said something humorous about herself and started the song over only to give an unforgettable version of her hit song. That is how the professionals do it!<\/p>\n
