I am way too lazy to post the millions of video clips I took at the Rodeo between the events and the concerts. I will probably eventually post the events, because they are really flippin cool. . . but right now I will focus on the concerts.
My AJ wrap-up was first. Good show, good show.
Next was Brad Pais ley. I saw him last year, too. Why do I love him? He’s so cute, but I get the feeling that he’s a little bit of a nerd, which I enjoy. His song lyrics are so clever, his videos are so clever, his songs are so sweet. . . the list goes on and on.
This is my favorite song that he does in concert. I don’t like the some of the videos that Brad puts on youtube b/c he has people talking in them. This would be one of those. If you wanna listen to the song, it’s right here, but it’s not really a video:
Next, was Josh Turner. Holy goodness, that man is gorgeous. He also has some really sweet songs. . . and this song, which I think might be the sweetest song ever made in the whole entire world!
Last but not least. . . was Gary Allan. This was my favorite concert this year, and of any Rodeo. . . and maybe in the top five of ALL concerts I’ve EVER seen. First off, he has a unique sound. . . It’s like country meets rock. I really, really love a lot of his music, but quite frankly, I forgot about a ton of his really good songs. Look him up on youtube and check out his stuff. I love his cover of Vertical Horizon’s “Best I’ve Ever Had”. . . love “Songs About Rain”. . . love so many. “Learning How to Bend” was his best song in concert though IMO. . . and I am in love with it right now. This song could be taken many ways. . . about a relationship between two people, or about someone’s relationship with God. Through looking up his music the internet, I found the sad story of his wife’s death. Ugh. No wonder he sings my current favorite with such passion. . .

i definitely like gary allan, too. a couple of years ago i watched him tell his/his wife’s story on oprah (though i despise her show). it was heartbreaking. my boys are big fans of his song “airplanes”. he has a sexy voice, too!
and josh turner – your description of him cracked me up!
i do love brad paisley (and his music is cute/ok to me)…he seems like a great husband and dad. he just seems like someone you’d like to be friends with!
lucky girl – getting to see all of them so close together!

[...] Katie and I went to see him at the Rodeo. . . but of course, even when you have good seats. . . the artists are playing in the middle of a football field so it’s still far away. Plus, the acoustics and such are not usually that great. This being said, Gary was AMAZING at the Rodeo. See previous entry here. . . [...]
