Emotional show by Sammy
by mandolinman on 7/25/10Penn's Peak - Jim ThorpeRating: 4 out of 5Sammy Kershaw has had some significant hits "back in the day", but dropped off the charts and the radio stations. An opportunity to see him at a great venue like Penn's Peak was too good to miss. Sammy has an incredibly talented band and, along with his production crew have put together a wonderful stage show. It waws great to hear all the old favorites (She Don't Think She's Beautiful, Working Woman's Holiday, Cadillac Style, You Are he Love of My Life, IIIrd Rate Romance & Queen of My Double Wide Trailer), but what was special was hearing him sing the great George Jones hit, He Stopped Loving Her Today.
Sammy got a little emotional talking to the crowd about feelings he had years before about being forgotten in music when he was inspired by a song about being put away like an old violin, which he then sang. After that Sammy and his band broke into some of the songs from his newest CD. "Cover of the Rolling Stone" was a crowd pleaser!
Sammy had the crowd on their feet with a patriotic song "People Like Us" and a new song "The White Rows of Arlington".
If you haven't seen Sammy lately, you need to see this show - you'll leave with a smile on your face and will be singing songs all the way home.
