Dale or God
by NewKellyFan on 6/11/14Birchmere - AlexandriaHave many of Dale Watson's CDs. Came to hear him live for first time. Had never heard Kelly Willis before and was blown away by her. Very powerful stuff and a beautiful voice. She, Bruce, and Dale share incredible ease with the audience. However, Dale was, and still is, the very best there is. If there was anything disappointing in the show, it was that Dale's time on stage was too short. He isn't in the area enough and he demands more than opening act status. It doesn't do justice to the range and extent of his vocal and songwriting talent. Inexcusable that he didn't have time to sing Whiskey or God so that those in the crowd less familiar with him could hear one of the two or three all-time best songs in true country music. You won't hear it on mainstream radio, God (or whiskey) only knows why.
