This is country music, and we do.

I would have to say the Thursday night was one of the best nights I've had this year. I went to the CMA Fest with Kaitlin, her grandad and Danielle. 

We had an incredible line up. Glen Campbell kicked off the show and it was really depressing because he has the early stages of Alzheimer's and after every song he thought he was done. But, he still put on a good show to be his age and his condition. Next was Miranda Lambert. And I love her. She's badass and redneck in the best way. Gunpowder and Lead was by far her best song she performed. It was empowering. :) And, Jason Aldean brought out the real hicks in the crowd when started off with Hick Town. I screamed like a fan girl the whole time he was on stage. lol She's country was my favorite performance of his though.

Lady Antebellum was next, and they were really good too. :) 

And then along came Zac Brown Band. They sound almost exactly the same as they do recorded, but the instruments sound better because they get to play around and stuff. Between America the Beautiful and The Devil Went Down to Georgia, I got goosebumps all over and teared up. They are by far the best I've seen live. And in the end of No Hurry when he says "And get right with the Lord" And pretty much everyone pointed up to the sky, it was so awesome! I can't begin to describe how happy I felt. 

After them, Mr. Brad Paisley came out, who I also love. And the title of this post is a lyric from his song Country Music. Which was my favorite performance from him.

And after all of that, and the All for the Hall concert is also making my decision about this. I've decided that country music fans really are the best. I listen to all different kinds of music. From Jason Mraz to Nickelback. Granted I've only been to two non country music concerts, but I still think that country fans are the most supportive and I feel like the country music business is less dog-eat-dog than the rest of the music industry, but that's just my opinion. :)
