Willie's band that night were set-up as a traditional country style band utilizing several traditional country music musicians to support the new album titled 'Country Music". The band sporting a fiddle, a banjo, a steel guitar, mandolin and of course Mikey Raphael's harmonica. Willie then came out to applause with his classic opener "Whiskey River" and begin what was a very versatile set. He played old songs, new songs, classics and plenty of songs that were in tribute to his favorite artists.
This show was being recorded live for Willie's Sirius satellite radio station "Willie's place" which added to the crowds excitement. A Woman there was holding up a sign in which willie read over the mic saying that was conceived at a Willie concert 30 years ago. Willie in response said "y'all have fun out there" The concert was great fun and Willie played a great set which spanned over 2 hours long. Next willie concert for my girfriend and I is the 4th of July picnic in Austin TX.
Hope to see you there!
