James Intveld
The Duhks
Jim Lauderdale
The Knitters
Horton Heat
Infamous Stringdusters
Dale Watson

By Dale's set on Sunday night there were fewer folks around than are at an IE bar on a Saturday night. Sad... country music is being kept alive by these talented, passionate artist and we sit on the lawn, miles from a stage and shout "Southern" / "Rock"... with Kid Rock. It is a shame.

"Now don't get me wrong, to each his own I believe.
But they've took the soul out of what means a whole lot to me.
'Cause I can see Hank and Lefty, they're spinning around in their graves.
And if they were here now, I think y'all know what they'd say.
... That's country my ass"

Hear, hear, my friend!

I'll give firm agreement to several of those names - and couldn't agree more with the quote.

I did get great joy during Dale's set when I saw my 16 year old walk out behind the tent and teach a girl his age a few steps, then bring her back in to try it out... now that's country. AND... you gotta love the honesty of a young woman who upon dancing a two step with me said, "you're pretty good... you should ask my mom to dance"... and I did... and she truly challenged my moves! Yeahaw!
Now that ended a fun weekend with some great smiles.

I also thoroughly enjoyed the Infamous Stringdusters! They were so amazing that I bought their CD that night before the festival ended.

James Intveld is ALWAYS a class act. Sure wish he could have played a longer set!

He was a late addition to the lineup and led off the first day on the main stage so a lot of people may not have been in yet, but I thought Sean Patrick McGraw was really good. I wasn't familiar with his music yet, but I certainly added it to my iTunes when I got home.

And as for the best, I think we can all agree Kid Rock put on one hell of a show. I actually felt bad for KC having to follow that performance.

In a way he did; he played rythm guitar with Dale Watson during his set. Awesome stuff on Sunday at the Palomino.
