        For the last 14 years, the CMA Awards have consistently been one of my favorite projects to be a part of. I can only think of one show (the Grammys) that brings together the amount of talent and diversity that this one does. Each year brings it’s own set of interesting performances and results, and this year was no different. So, let’s get right to it!

            I’ve never been a super-huge fan of Jakob Dylan, but have always respected and admired his talents from afar. I had my first introduction to him back in 1995 when the then unknown Wallflowers opened for Chris Isaak at TPAC. I was able to see the Wallflowers one other time, a wonderful show at the now defunct 328 Performance Hall, but lost touch with their music, not paying too much attention to it after 2000’s Breach.

                            The show started about 9:40pm with Brian on one side of the stage, James on the other side of the stage and Mike in the middle.  Brian and James had their cameras ready while Mike was ready with his mic to record any special live audio clips for the podcast (and there were several).

                                    Written by James Downing

                                    If you remember a few months ago, I reviewed my less than pleasurable experience seeing Sheryl Crow at The River Bend Music Fest in Chattanooga, TN.  It wasn’t that Sheryl was bad, she was great, but what I was told was a front row seat was actually a seat quite a ways back from the stage behind a general admission area and the band was on a stage that was at least 40 feet high.  Now for a casual music fan, that would have been satisfactory, but I am not your casual music fan.  When I go to a show I like to be as close to the stage as possible, especially when it comes to a favorite of mine like Sheryl Crow.  I was glad that I had the chance to see her perform several shows on this tour because the other shows that I attended more than made up for the sour taste that was left in my mouth after the Chattanooga show.
