Hank Williams Jr. wows them at Country Concert
At about 6 p.m. it poured at Country Concert 2010, but the true thunder didn’t come until Hank Williams, Jr. stepped on stage just after 10 p.m.
After a video introduction by Merle Haggard, Williams, Jr. stepped onto the stage. His band played and the crowd cheered, but he just basked in the adulation.
Williams, Jr. wasn’t originally scheduled to appear at the concert, but a cancellation by Brooks & Dunn created the opening and the fans loved it during a mercifully cool night. They even cheered when he spit.
Earlier, a steady rain didn’t deter any of the partying, but that really isn’t a surprise, is it?
About 14,000 people showed up Thursday, July 8 for the beginning of the three-day outdoor concert featuring headliners Hank Williams, Jr. Trace Adkins and Keith Urban.
The Band Perry kicked things off at 4 p.m. and were followed by Joe Nichols. No sooner had he finished “What’s a Guy Gotta Do” than did it start blowing and raining, sending people in cowboy hats and bikini tops searching for shelter.
“We might get wet, but we’re gonna have fun,” Nichols told the crowd.
Kristen Fike, Tabby Reveal and Heather Selanders are sorority sisters who have been to the concert every year for the past nine years.
They wished they had brought a change of dry clothes, but were still having fun. “The rain makes everyone livelier,” Fike said. “They pep up a bit.” Selanders looked forward to seeing Urban on Saturday.
“I’m a Keith Urban fan,” she said. “Hardcore.” The concert resumes on Friday, July 9 with Steel Magnolia performing at 4 p.m.
