Saturday Night Music Review [Jul 16, 2006]
I was rather surprised Cowboy Crush made it to Troy to play on the Main Stage at the Fair at all. Trenna, the lead vocalist, had no clue where she was in Missouri, just that she was somewhere in the state. I say this because not once did she mention Troy, electing instead to just refer to everything as Missouri. She also asked if there were any KFVA fans in the house, and surprisingly few people hooted and hollered. Maybe it was the fact that she read the wrong letters? I don't know.
However, she gets a free pass because of the way she is on stage and the fact that Cowboy Crush just got back from touring Europe and singing for the Red, White, and Blue's finest.
Anyways, they put on a pretty good show. They don't have a real cd out, just a 2 song sampler cd available for $5. I'd suggest waiting till their full cd comes out soon. "I'm Coming Home" hit the mark in this conservative hotbed with its lyrics about a soldier off at war. "Hillbilly Nation" found its target among the Lincoln County folk in the audience. Look for this group to be big with the right song selections. Think of them as the anti-liberal improvement on the Dixie Chicks plus two chicks.
Sawyer Brown didn't dissapoint as the main act. They started off a little slow in my opinion when they just went song to song without really any fan interaction. Just when they were about to lose some folks, they came through. The band reached way back to 1983 to kick the show into high gear.
In 1983, Sawyer Brown was just a struggling band that needed a videotape to promote their work. The answer? Audtion for Star Search and use the audition tape. Their idea worked out better than could have ever been imagined when they won the competition and took home the $100,000 prize along with the recording contract.
I wondered throughout the show if Mark Miller has patented his dyslexic dance moves. I really don't know how else you could describe the way that guys moves on stage. I've heard the music just flows through some people. Well, the music flows through this guy something funky. He'll leave you wondering, What the heck is he doing? How the heck is he doing that? and How the heck is he still doing it after 25 years of performing?
Sawyer Brown mixed old songs and new throughout the show and even covered some songs.Go out and buy their new cd, Mission Temple Fireworks Stand and pick up a greatest hits cd while you're there.

Rain Doesn't Dampen Country [Jul 11, 2006]
Despite rain wreaking havoc with the schedule on the Main Stage and my bedtime, Erika Jo and Collin Raye both put on lively perfofmances tonight on the Main Stage at the Lincoln County Fair.
Erika Jo showed spunk and a powerful voice that will take her far in Nashville before seeing her set cut short by the downpour. Notice Erika's name is spelled with a "k" contrary to what you may have seen on signs or ads put out by the Lincoln County Fair board. Erika Jo hit the stage like she was playing on Saturday night rather than Tuesday. Early in the show, technical difficulties were evident as you couldn't hear the lyrics clearly, but she had the fair rockin with her hit single "I Break Things" and some songs from her new album by the time the rain began falling.
Collin Raye didn't hit the stage until 10 pm, an hour after he was scheduled to take the stage. Evidently, the rain delay didn't affect Collin's energy level at all. He showed more energy during his show than I was aware the entire Town of Troy had on a Tuesday night. Check out his new song, "Hurricane Jane" which a video was just sent to CMT for. Wearing a Stan Musical Cardinals' jersey, Raye belted out song after song in between dancing around the stage, shaking hands with fans in front of the stage, and signing things.

It's Fair Time
In case you didn't know it already, the trash on Main St. Sunday night gave it away. The Lincoln County Fair Parade kicked off the 2006 Lincoln County Fair on Sunday. Trash from inconsiderate folks lined the street after the hour and half parade, which featured 2006 Fair Queen Elle Braungardt and most of the candidates in the upcoming elections among others.
Tuesday night features Collin Raye and 2005 Nashville Star winner Erika Joe. Collin Raye was a big hit at Fair St. Louis not so many moons ago and we thank the powers that be that we got him while St. Louis got Lyle Lovett this year.
Saturday Night features Cowboy Crush opening for Sawyer Brown.
Here's the entertainment link
Friday night is the Demo Derby.
Admission is $20 on both Friday and Saturday nights and $10 on Tuesday. Get yourself a fair pass for $35 and save some money. Be sure to check out the exotic animal tent by the main gate to see some sweet animals. Also, stop by and see Jerry Fox to see why everyone should vote for him for Lincoln County Collector
